Kevin, this is an amazing newsletter, and the citation of Beowulf is terrific. No one vanquishes anything - we have to work very hard in a disciplined and kind way to restrain our ugly, our demons. No one owes you anything, but we have to remember that we owe each other everything - and that is how a republic and a democracy work well. We have forgotten what good looks like, but ugly is right near us - it is the easier one to leverage, and that is where we are, in the name of short-term gain.
