      I never submitted the whole system of my
      opinions to the creed of any party of men
      whatever...where I was capable of thinking
      for myself. Such an addiction is the last
      degredation of a free and moral agent. If I
      could not go to heaven but with a party, I
      would not go there at all.
            Thomas Jefferson, from Paris, 1789
