Apparently with no surprise
To any happy Flower
The Frost beheads it at it’s play –
In accidental power –

The blonde Assassin passes on -
The Sun proceeds unmoved
To measure off another Day
For an Approving God –

~ Emily Dickinson (ca. 1880)

i agree but it seems very difficult to effect meaningful change (constitutional amendment required in order to touch the pardon power)

sure, but there are good things happening in high schools, community colleges, and univs in terms of helping kids try out clear thinking, empathy, creativity, basic aesthetic concepts, other cultures, etc. for themselves

yes, unless they gain some similar exposure through family and community, eg K-12
