Schoolhouse Rock.
Sadly, it was the only civics education that most of our youth of that era ever got, what with public schools being more concerned about self-esteem than about education.
Sadder still, Schoolhouse Rock died off in 1999.
Sadder still, our public schools are still ladling out self-esteem by the bucketloads, and still ignoring education.
But wait.
