2. I'm reminded of something Alistair Cooke once said.
At least I think it was Alistair Cooke. When commenting on the endless examples of debauched behavior in the imperial families in the mini-series "I, Claudius," he observed that if there had been family counselors during the reigns of the Roman emperors, they would have had to work in shifts, like miners.

There aren't enough counselors in the whole of North America to handle this crowd.
