Back to the drawing board

Anyway .. I agree with the quote and I think that it's good to plod on fearlessly in the name of truth and reason. I just 100% disagree with his idea of truth and reason.

And if the stories about his private life are true what he's said makes him out to really have problems. What about his own children.

And not so much of a scholar either .. if he couldn't guess why some people have darker skins and some lighter after seeing peoples skins tanning and losing the tan in and out of sunlight I'd say he was rather slow at making connections.

He was a hupocrite but if you take away this fact .. he said some pretty neat things about freedom etc .. it might just have been a politician's rhetoric .. and speaking to those who would be thinking about colonial freedom and who he needed politically on his side .. it would certainly speak to them.

He didn't apply it through his actions to other people.

Hmmm .. hummph ... hmmmmm
