How interesting that El Gato is all about institutions today - who delegated/who is responsible/who schemed when and how. But the commentariat is having none of it! - its all individuals down here! Who - including of course, "I", did what when and why. I recently ran into this bit of Emerson I think more than obliquely touching on our current horror: "Every reform was once a private opinion, and when it shall be a private opinion again, it will solve the problem of the age."
