Finally caught the John Adams mini-series starring Paul Giammati and Laura Linney for more info click here. Whenever I see or read something about our Founding Fathers like Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin etc. who were the architects of our country, I wonder – what happened? We had all those truly great leaders and visionaries living and operating at that time in our history and re: subsequent leaders and great men where did they all go? Was that merely a fluke in time? Or did the leadership gene pool just dry up? Even the B Team boys from back then like Paine, Hamilton and Burr etc. would make today’s crop look like the political Pee Wee Hermanns that they really are. Where did we lose it?
Watch the John Adams mini-series and just be grateful I guess that at some time in our history we were blessed with some truly noble minded men.
