Dale Reynolds aka Thomas Jefferson, being the same height as the president, 6’2″, and at that time a bit more slender than I am today.
I learned from Mr. Jefferson that no government can claim legitimacy without the tacit and active support of its populace; that the enemy of democracy lies not so so much from without — from invasion — as from within, in the form of apathy; that those who do not take advantage of the right to vote do not have to be listened to.
And finally, that a flourishing society is one in which the rights of the majority – always paramount – must not overcome the rights of the minority to be heard as well. Jefferson said that the fact that we disagree doesn’t impute any criminality to either side.
One-man, energetic, emotionally taxing, show. I take away as much from my audiences as they do from me.
I’m pleased to report, in the process of sharing ideas (in the form of questions-and-answers), we both learn what a thriving, living, intellectually-aware concept democracy truly is.
