I think things started changing before they started hiring guards for schools. After Tricky Dick gave Mr Trudeau his start and Mr Carlin started explaining how government works in clear terms. Then again, one could point to that cowboy in the 40's and 50's who's name escapes me but his wit remains, George someone?

Thanks for the essay!
