@Tenpoundbass un-liked it so I could like it twice.
Reminded me of elementary school back in the '60s.

Kindergarten in the 70s. I stole a pair of those lefty scissors with the green rubber on them so you can tell it's for lefties. Then at nap time some girl took off a pair of leather(ish?) sandals and put them close to my head. (Her feet toward my head) I took out my scissors and cut her shoes into little bits because I was bored as shit.
Got my ass whooped later that day when I was picked up from school too.

It's a legit Jefferson quote:

https://tjrs.monticello.org/letter/1383
Extract from Thomas Jefferson to “Henry Tompkinson” (Samuel Kercheval)
Monticello July 12 1816
I am not among those who fear the people. they and not the rich, are our dependance for continued freedom. and to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt ... if we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries & our comforts, in our labors & our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor 16. hours in the 24. give the earnings of 15. of these to the government for their debts and daily expences; and the 16th being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal & potatoes.

Yes, I learned that at some point. Amazing that a guy so smart could let that happen.
