If Thomas Jefferson come to 2006...?

Hopefully he'd go underground and start American Revolution II. We are definately due for another one to get back on track...

If this is an essay you're writing for school, have the Declaration of Independence in front of you. List the ideas, then argue each, both ways--that we have equality for example, and that we don't. We have attained some or most of his ideals, at least partially. Give examples in support, then come to mini conclusions.

Check your history book to see what else Jefferson believed in. There are probably 2 or 3 more ideas. Again list these, and argue both ways.

Take a break, proof read, then do a quick summary with your final conclusion. Say which way you think we're headed -- more toward the ideals of Jefferson, or more toward a government and society ruled by tyranny.

Finally say what you think Jeff would do -- stay or go. (I think he'd jump back into the time machine asap, and go back to a more hopeful time.)

He would write a book called "Why?" Why did America annex the Phillipines? Why did America want Cuba? Why did America become a naval power and an empire? Why did America sell arms and lend money to Britain and France in WWI? Why did Woodrow Wilson abandon his Fourteen Points at the Paris Peace Conference? Why was America neutral in May 1940? Why did America want influence in Vietnam? Why did America want influence in Iraq? Why didn't the auto executives make electric cars?

He would join Bill Clinton and admit that the pu**y he had on the side was good too (Sally Hemmings). All of her descendents look like Jefferson.

I think he would write a best seller on how American has manipulated and twisted the words of te constitution to benefit the rich and powerful.

He would be very disappointed, and call for a Revolution to wipe the Fascist Corporate Corupption off the map-

This is a great and beautiful country and where are the horses????

he couldn't and he wouldn't He is dead and there is no such thing as a time machine. See this is how stupid conspiracy theories get started!!!!

He'd be too sad...

he'd write..".What the hell happened???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
