Which Reminds

Yes, you were prattling on about the deplorable character of Benjamin Franklin as a representation of American so-called virtue. And who hasn't heard of heroes who developed feet of clay due to bad life choices? And also, I seem to remember that it was in decadent France that Franklin's life really went downhill, not so much in his earlier life in America. Another reason not to make such broad generalizations based entirely on anecdotal evidence.
