During the American Revolution, he represented Virginia in the Continental Congress that adopted the Declaration, drafted the law for religious freedom as a Virginia legislator, and served as a wartime governor (1779–1781).
Jefferson served as a delegate to the Second Continental Congress beginning in 1775 at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. He sought out John Adams who, along with the latter's cousin Samuel, had emerged as a leader of the Congress. Jefferson and Adams established a permanent friendship which led to Jefferson's work on the Declaration of Independence. Adams supported Jefferson's appointment to the Committee of Five formed to write the Declaration in furtherance of the Lee Resolution passed by the Congress.

Apparently ,Wikipedia disagrees with you. Perhaps you should send them a note and site your expertise. If you notice, I had said " one of the framers " of the Constitution. Wikipedia agrees with that .

Your time might be better spent reading up on the material instead of trying to make others look foolish.

The article I wrote was to inform others of what issues are taking shape in Federal Court and how far reaching the implications of these questions are and the ramifications and consequences of any decisions.

The article was further written to invite discussion and debate among our more learned and intelligent Subsim members.

Apparently you should actually read what Wikipedia has to say. Where does it say that Jeffereson was one of the framers of the US Constitution? It does not. And he was not.

Steve is exactly right and your "evidence" bears that out. Your time might better be spent......etc.

In fact, I was referring to the fact Ben Franklin was a signer and framer of
the Constitution and also the Declaration of Independence although I made no reference to the Declaration.With regards to Thomas Jefferson, I listed what Wilkepedia had said as far as his being one of the founding fathers of the U.S along with Ben Franklin and other notables.

I should have made the distinction but I had no idea there was going to be a test today. I just assumed most would intelligently infer what I meant and make the distinction for themselves and have better things to do than hang me out to dry. Most here were classy enough to do just that and focus on the body of work I wrote and have an intelligent and rational discussion.


Enough said. Lets move on.

This is all very well, but none of it explains exactly why they gave the part of the chimney sweep to Dick Van Dyke.

Rather than the word getting out Apple just complied with a government request. A show is put on for the public to keep up the appearence of a company concerned about their customers privacy

Bingo.

As it turns out, apple did offer a simple and one off solution to the problem, but the government screwed it up (by my reading).

IF the phone had been allowed to backup to the icloud, apple would have happily turned over the data from the backup. But someone in the government (I'm not sure if it was the suspects employers or someone from the Justice Department) altered the phones login properties, preventing it from backing up.

So, yes Apple did have a simple solution that would have complied with the court order, but the government screwed it up.
