No, but I like the history part, and I'll tell you why it relates to the commercial life, is that you can—is that history, again, doesn't repeat, but to paraphrase a remark attributed to, you know, Twain, Mark Twain, is it doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

And so patterns happen again.

So we're going through these tough times and, oh, it's none like anything, but it's, you know, it's not that different from the late 60s when the country was very polarized or the McCarthy era where we sort of went off the rails and then got back on the rails.

So people say, oh my God, I don't like, you know, the norms of society, you know, the norms of political, proper political behavior are gone forever.

Well, you know, we did have a civil war.

We did have a McCarthy era.

We did put,

you know, Japanese American citizens who were Japanese descent in camps because we were freaked out by world, you know, by Pearl Harbor.

And then we overcame those things and regretted them afterwards.

So even at the worst, there's hope.

There's always hope for America and America has always fulfilled those hopes eventually.

Well, I think a lot of people have said that.

I wouldn't bet, I wouldn't get against America.

And, you know, so if you watch the evening news, you read the newspaper, you'd walk away with one set of views.

Now, I'm thinking today, when I was crossing into adulthood, they were drafting people, Vietnam War, literally the body count coming out of it.

They would read every Friday evening.

They would read, scroll down the TV, 350, 450, 600 died.

And then, of course...

Compare that to World War II when, you know, when tens of thousands died.

And so, you know, every generation has its challenges.
