Finally watched Lincoln last night, and though it was boring, it was educational and inspiring. I looked up Thaddeus Stevens (played by Tommy Lee Jones) and found that this was printed on his tombstone: I repose in this quiet and secluded spot Not from any natural preference for solitude But, finding other Cemeteries limited as to Race by Charter Rules I have chosen this that I might illustrate in my death The Principles which I advocated through a long life; EQUALITY OF MAN BEFORE HIS CREATOR So, this presidents Day, Im thinking not only of this sentiment, but of the thousands who work in the shadows of the few men history celebrates.
