To the Editor:

   Many of our Founding Fathers sincerely believed that they were designing a government for the Ages, but Thomas Jefferson dissented. He held that we would need a new revolution in each generation, because those how hold wealth and power at any moment will always pervert the institutions of government to keep wealth and power. For this, he earned the enmity of many of his colleagues. With time, we're learning that the new revolutions don't come off like clockwork, but neither can they be stopped entirely; an educated electorate will eventually see whose interests are served, and whose are not.
