What do we call the innocent? Those precious little useless things we honor with large words and then largely ignore. As we do ethics. Or courtesy. Better yet - those prophets of doom with science degrees. What do we call them? Oh, yes, we call them fools. Luvgood Carp, Editor-in-Chief

What you write is eloquent, and reminds me of something I read yesterday in The Times. With your indulgence I quote it here: ‘… A quote by C.S. Lewis: “Friendship is unnecessary,” he wrote, “like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”’

You must have loved the folktale “The Emperor Has No Clothes” when you first came across it.
