One bright point in the day was the Lord of the Rings exhibit at the Maclauchlin Plane'arium. It was surprisingly well done, and worth the seemingly hefty $15 admission fee. They missed a 'do not touch' sign on the Uruk Hai armour, so I touched it. It was cool and heavy and primitive.

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
