Hear hear. (Here here? I never really understood that phrase.) (02)
Especially the part about "virtues". I've never really seen instruction
in "civics and virtues", so I'm guessing that means pretty much the
same as "ethics and practical political science". (03)

manufacturers, much less MS, the need for inculcating public-mindedness
from an early age is all too apparent. (04)
