Democratic Primaries

For reasons I won't go into in this post I'm not as big a fan of Thomas Jefferson as many/most other Americans are but he did hit the nail on the head on this occasion...

Once, when scolded by an unhappy supporter for not reshaping the country fast enough, Thomas Jefferson offered a well-reasoned rejoinder. "When we reflect how difficult it is to move or to infect the great machine of society," he wrote, "we see the wisdom of Solon's remark that no more good must be attempted than the nation can bear."

While many of Bernie's policies are quite admirable and desirable goals to strive toward I also believe that some of them are more "than the nation can bear" at this time.
