In like a lion

First three news items on the first day of March:

* Civics in America on the decline. Homer & Bart, one; freedom of speech, zero. That's depressing.

* Agriculture in America on the decline. Fruits & vegetables have less nutritional value than they used to. That's depressing.

* Psychiatry in America provides provides a discouraging response: a new skin patch called Emsam to treat depression. We're going to need a lot of those. As body armor, if nothing else.

Cornichons of the world, unite! We have nothing to lose but our vitamins! Assuming there's still some B12 left.
