Could Thomas Jefferson tell the future?

The most favorite so called "Atheist" president we have ever had. Those who believe this will probably also find it difficult to believe that Thomas Jefferson may have had a divine ability to fortell the future.

In light of our present economic crisis do you suppose he may have? He quotes:

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ."
Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. "
Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. "
Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. "
Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson


and the most Interesting Quote for our time:
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

People tell me that the documents that were written by our founders are old and out of date...Does it really seem that way to you?
