A paragraph of this excellent piece is included in the list. (I'm on the SOS March organizing committee.)<br /><br />I've been a fan of your blog for a long time.

In a good way.<br /><br />OTOH, ol' Jefferson was no dope, and "pursuit of" may have been his way of slipping it in without getting all the Calvinists riled up.<br /><br />(Even in my dark moments of pessimism, when I rationally chart out how all this is likely to pan out, a grin breaks out--we're on the side that dances to the music that surrounds us.)doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-89032006203735755162011-07-23T21:27:01.411-04:002011-07-23T21:27:01.411-04:00Ever wish Jefferson had chosen a different word th...Ever wish Jefferson had chosen a different word than "pursuit"?
