Yes, I agree. They are the product of their time. For the late 18th century, they (Jefferson, Madison, Paine) were very progressive. Visionary, in some ways.

I also liked Cosby. I wouldn't go see him NOW. But I saw him live twice, and I have a few of his old vinyl albums (with "Chicken Heart" and "Dentist" and "Dead Man's Hill"...haven't dragged those out in decades). He deserved prison, as it turns out, but that doesn't mean he wasn't funny.
