“Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?”
America died with a whimper!
Do you get royalties every time you say this or something? You’ve had an account for ~3 days and you’ve already used variations of that phrase at least 8 times. I’m not attacking the sentiment, it just feels forced and isn’t a particularly witty comment worthy of that much repetition.
Just wanted to point out how awesome Tom Lehrer (wikipedia) is as a musician/satirist/teacher as well as just a decent human – he relinquished all copyright ownership over his music catalog and currently* has his songs, sheet music and lyrics available for free download at https://tomlehrersongs.com/.
Here’s the link to Wernher Von Braun where the parent lyrics come from.

From The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu:
Later, other Adventists based their hatred of the human race on other foundations, not limited to issues such as the environment or warfare. Some raised their hatred to very abstract, philosophical levels. Unlike how they would be imagined later, most of them were realists, and did not place too much hope in the alien civilization they served either. Their betrayal was based only on their despair and hatred of the human race. Mike Evans gave the Adventists their motto: We don’t know what extraterrestrial civilization is like, but we know humanity.
Your welcome ;)
