RE: Misrepresenting our Founding Fathers (to include other notable free-thinkers)

The fact that anyone quotes anyone else from 200 fucking years ago to somehow try and justify their own views is pretty laughable in my opinion.

For example, I've heard some people quote the 'founding fathers' to support their own views of freedom, yet many of these people from 200 years ago kept slaves. Seems a tad contradictory. IMO we're living in a very different world to what the founding fathers were back then, so quoting them as though they have any say/authority on matters of today is usually misguided and irrelevant.
