"John Adams" finished this week with the seventh and final episode. If you don't have HBO, be sure to rent it when it becomes available. Although I will warn you, the final episode is just a sob-fest.

The last episode ended with this quote, which I can't get out of my head:

"Now, posterity, you will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom. I hope that you make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it."

I wonder if he has yet begun to repent...
