Wise words

None other than Thomas Jefferson, in old age, advised HIS grandson to never, ever talk politics. He said that he'd never seen anyone actually convince anyone else to change their views and, in fact, he'd only seen people get angry and even tend to shoot one another over it.

He was giving advice on a career, how to succeed in it and what not to do.

It's amazing to me that this is what Thomas Jefferson had learned.
