Notes from "Jefferson Rocks Lecture"

My hero!!!!!!!!!!

His most notable acomplishments:
- Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom
- Declaration of Independence
- Louisiana Purchase
- Louis and Clarck Expedition
- The founding of UVA
- The "mosquito fleet"
- The successful conclusion of the war with the Barbary Pirates

His few weak spots are regretable and should not overshadow his mythic proportions.

These include:
- A Sally Hemings Fetish
- The Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions
- Hated Alex "My Man!" Hamilton

I think anyone with a rational mind can see why Jefferson is my hero.
