everywhere aaron went he took gaia. that opened the door for him.ddenly started engaging with other people, talking to staff, being more open. he had a softer, more nurturing side that emerged after gaia came into his life. aaron and i never had an overt conversation about the fact he killed his parents and now he was parenting a kitten. it was obvious to me though that whatever he couldn't feel for his own family and certainly the people he killed, he seemed to transfer all of these emotions over to this cat, which was interesting to observe, and we spent weeks there and i would check in with him periodically, and we were filming aaron looking at family photographs, and he started to pause and he seemed to almost be reminiscing in a good way as he looked at his mom, and he seemed to have a little kinder feelings towards her. >> this is probably the best picture i have ever seen of my mom. this was also in '85. this was when she graduated from a beauty school as a beautician. >> he was describing her in a kinder, more loving way than i had ever hear

because we have rather different ideas today about how gaia is at risk -- that great throbbing organism of which we are all a part of. prof. gallagher: i thought we are part of the oversoul. prof. onuf: you're so 1840s. [laughter] prof. onuf: do you find where i'm getting at that? to say people -- the american people, yeah, i'd say at the end of the day, jefferson would. i mean, he doesn't -- would say yes, the american people. that's -- that was a short answer. [laughter] prof. gallagher: so once again he agrees with lincoln, or , lincoln agrees with him? prof. onuf: i think so. prof. gallagher: i want -- let's come back, you brought up something else i want to pursue, another thread i want to pull here. that is in terms of -- the union is going to expand. it's natural future would be expansionist. what would jefferson -- did jefferson believe that peoples who did not look like western europeans or englishmen could be brought in as functioning parts of the union? what would he have thought of incorporating all the people who lived in the half of mexico that the united states annexed in
