PixelJones<p>Great discussion. I could listen to this exchange all day. In 7 short minutes Ken Burns and Ryan Holiday are like two skilled forensic detectives tracing back lines of essential American virtues and sins. Wonderful.</p><p>Jefferson had the vision of democracy but lacked the will to embody it.
