I mean no offense to Henry whose book I am sure will be as insightful as all 
his others. But I must be the only person in the U.S. who is totally 
unconcerned with whether or not he slept with his slave.

The very fact that a man with Jefferson's vision, intelligence, etc., owned 
other human beings as his property tells me all I need to know about his 
character. Whether or not he slept with his slave seems irrelevant when you 
consider that she was legally on the same level as his desk, chair, horses 
and cattle.

Maybe he is the model for some of our present-day politicians.
