In response to a May 17th ban on dancing within the Thomas Jefferson memorial,
and subsequent police brutality enforced upon activist Adam Kokesh & friends due to opposition,
droves turned out to protest the preposterous restrictions placed upon the citizens of America:
"It's our time to dance.
It's our way to celebrate life."
- Kevin Bacon *Footloose*
The irony of all this, is Thomas Jefferson himself has been referred to as the "DanceMaster in Chief",
an avid fiddler whom would occassionally perform duets with Patrick Henry,
and often encourage others to dance whilst playing.
Dancing “is a healthy exercise,
elegant and very attractive for young people.”
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
