WITCOHE Weekend

"When in the course of human events" weekend, holiday, and celebration is now. I've a question. Of all the Americans we collectively single out, why doesn't Thomas Jefferson have a holiday like other worthy forefathers. George Washington has a holiday. Abraham Lincoln has a holiday. Thomas Jefferson should have a holiday.

Hold the presses! I've just been informed that neither George Washington nor Abraham Lincoln are worthy of an individual holiday. They are teamed up for President's Day, so neither is important enough by himself. They're clumped into a somewhat generic President's Day which dilutes their importance even more.

The only American to have a holiday is Martin Luther King. Excuse me for evaluating, but I personally believe that Martin Luther King would never have had the ability to broadcast his dream to the public if Thomas Jefferson hadn't written the words "When in the course of human events."

Thomas Jefferson deserves to be recognized.
