I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, 
and as necessary in the political world as storms in the 
physical. -- Thomas Jefferson

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue
of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will
deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up
homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
-- Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
