Another Life-long Learning opportunity. I've only become ware of this. I intend on catching up over the weekend and and tuning in on Monday.
Sightseeing recommendation: On your next visit to our nation's capital go to the Thomas Jefferson building of the Library of Congress. It's simply amazing. If you so desire, they will send you across the street to get your very own Library of Congress Reader photo ID.

Fascinating. I will make an effort to learn more about it. I have read the argument that Jefferson's interpretation of the Bible was prepared to proselytize Native Americans.
