Wishing the blessings of liberty for Greece

Thomas Jefferson had a particular affinity for Greece, not only because of its classical republican philosophy but also because of his studies of the origins of languages. He expressed his empathies with Greece revolting its Ottoman rulers. "No people sympathize more feelingly than ours with the sufferings of your countrymen, none offer more sincere and ardent prayers to heaven for their success. . . Possessing ourselves the combined blessing of liberty and order, we wish the same to other countries, and to none more than yours, which, the first of civilized nations, presented examples of what man should be."

Aah, the Moloch appears - or should that be Demiurge? Like a moth to the light; perchance for self-emolation by this self-battering, Greek-hater.
Happy 2012 to you!
