When government acts to assure freedom, in this case, freedom from brain- numbing, disturbing the peace noise, I'm in favor of it. > [Platt] > ... and I don't want people forced to wear masks. > > [Arlo] > Nor do I.

I don't favor the right of an individual to expose himself to children. I guess you do, although hypocritically you won't practice what you preach. > But we've kinda veered off the topic here.

Let's begin our revolution by emphasizing education in the arts beginning in kindergarten, discovering each child's artistic delight at an early age and building on it right up through high school. I don't just mean writing, painting, sculpture, music, dance, etc. although those are important. I mean the art of cooking, rhetoric, mathematics, economics, medicine -- you name it. There's an art to every human activity -- "Beautifully done by little Platt and Arlo." (If not, little Platt and little Arlo are damn well going to hear about it. But, ideally, they will know it themselves.) What do you think? name it.
