I don’t know why it only occurred to me within the past couple of months just how *reckless* the human species is. It should have been obvious, but somehow I repeatedly overlooked the trait and attributed the pattern to anomalies.

It’d be interesting to see what would happen if the presidency required a “vow of poverty” like when someone enters a church order. Maybe not a permanent vow but one for twice the duration of their term?

To the many others who have said Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, Romper Room, Nova, Nature, Rick Steve’s, Masterpiece Theatre, Frontline and more, I will add:

Anne of Green Gables, Bill Moyers, Newshour, and The Desert Speaks

Notable mention (for its pervasive hold on culture at the time): Riverdance
