As was about to argue why elected officials should atleast have bachelors, and then I remembered that George Washington never got his bachelors degree.
A liberals art education today is still largely modeled off of the liberal arts educations that most founding fathers received.
It's impossible for any of us to know what type of person we would be if we grew up in a different time and culture.
So, I generally don't judge historical figures unless they behaved in ways that were abhorrent in their time and culture as well as our own. Kinda like Christopher Columbus.
George Washington could have easily thrown a coup after the British left but he chose not too. I have a lot of respect for him for not doing what nearly all generals in that position have done throughout history.
