Publisher’s Note: The oh-so-complex Thomas Jefferson, whose birthday we remember this week, was perhaps the most decentralist of our US Framers. “The government that governs best,” Jefferson famously noted, “governs least.” We celebrate the anniversary of our anthology Most Likely To Secede this week. Available via our STORE, Venmo, or by sending check, cash or money order to our UPSO. “The Gods of the Empire are not the Gods of Vermont!”
