Nancy, I fail to see how noting that he was a sexual person is "trashing him". As a widower, we would expect a healthy male to make some provisions for sexual outlets. There were all sorts of taboos back then for "taking matters in hand". NOT providing such an outlet could have made TJ a rather dour man who was not capable of the leadership that he exhibited. And, I would like to take a poll of those who are so worried that Jefferson will be "trashed" by the truth when it outs, are the same folks who "trashed" Bill Clinton and his presidency for HIS indiscretion.
