1. Consider, oh Simple Seeker, the statement by Rig, written in plain English:
George Washington freed his slaves, but Thomas Jefferson did not free his slaves.

2.And consider, oh Omniscient One, your statement:

3. Pray tell me, oh Illustrious and Indefatigable Seeker of Truth, have you read any recent Jefferson scholarship published in the 12 years since Ellis' book?

4. [ Who's embarrassed now? ]

5. And finally: Fuck off.
