Benjamin Franklin was human. Therefore, he is capable of being wrong. He said it, but that doesn't make it right. Just like right now, I can say "Benjamin Franklin was a loony idiot." Does that negate everything he said, because I wrote those words? Who is right? Are either of us? Franklin's statement is also just a matter of opinion.

Just to answer that quickly (and maybe the rest later), I never intended to imply, by quoting him, that it MUST be right because Franklin said it...

I quote people when they are someone that most people have SOME respect for and they made a statement that *I*, as an individual, happen to agree with.

Anything more, you read into it yourself...
