No man should be judged by his worst moments, but in totality, and in a man of genius, he should be celebrated at his most transcendent.

In 1962, 49 Nobel Prize winners were invited to a White House dinner. Kennedy greeted them, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. Someone once said that Thomas Jefferson was a gentleman of 32 who could calculate an eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, plan an edifice, try a cause, break a horse, and dance the minuet."

As Mongols embrace their founding father, Americans denounce theirs, so who do you think have a brighter future?

It is past midnight in Busan. It is July 4th. It is dark here, but it is much darker in the land of Jefferson. Still, happy birthday.
