Not just elected officials, I'll also include in police officers, judges, juries, and, really, pretty much all members of the public in the list of people who would greatly benefit from such an experience.


I see a clear pattern here, and it is the loss of once common coming-of-age ritual.

Etc. Basically dogfooding as gatekeeping.
