Some weird classical tune that my colleague is playing. The sound keeps crackling, and now it sounds like someone flicking through radio channels. Quite unnerving. I may have to ask her to stop.

And it’s proven successful for the elites. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Once the seeds are sown, then society can become more enlightened. There are several people with stature across party lines who feel the same way.”
