| Altruism Assassin Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,183 | michelangelo? He always came off to me as the boring artsy type. Not nearly as interesting as Da Vinci, though you could get mike to paint your ceilings. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

| Altruism Assassin Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,183 | You're gonna bring him back and force him to cook? thats horrible manners. The least you can do is give him some real meat, he probably ate fish all his life. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

![]() Amused Location: Mid Atlantic Posts: 1,229 | Jefferson's Monticello: Thomas Jefferson Jefferson was way ahead of his time. I've visited his home in Monticello several times. I'd love to disuss his gardens... among other things.

| Altruism Assassin Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,183 | Jeff's a cool dude and would make amazing conversation, he's also something of the most space headed idealist to walk the earth, but that's O.K. Monticello is amazing, though it's another example of his ability to be idealistic to the point where he didn't see reality that it was built on the backs of slaves. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

| Altruism Assassin Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,183 | Declaration of independence, but most americans probably don't know that, so you get a free pass. He also was the president who made the deal with Napoleon to buy Louisiana (the entire great plains and Rocky mountains region, not just the state), I'm a little rough on him though , he's not my favorite founding father. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

| Redskins Rule Location: South-Western Virginia Posts: 2,453 | Read this (Thomas Jefferson) and know why I want him at my dinner party. He was progressive even in an era of revolutionary ideals, he was flawed but desired to innitiate positive chance. Maybe my favorite American, next to my buddy Abe, who actually fought the fight Jefferson could not bring himself to fight.
