Quite an interesting Dark Journalist yesterday evening. He read a few quotes from letters, one of which came from Thomas Jefferson. Here is another passage from a Thomas Jefferson letter for your consideration,

Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith
Paris Nov. 13. 1787.

…. the people can not be all, & always, well informed. [especially when there has been for some time and continues to be a well organized effort to prevent the people from being well informed – MY COMMENT] the part which is wrong [. . .] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?

… some who read this may know the words that end this passage. If not, I invite you to reference the letter for yourself and read for yourself the words with which it ends.
