By your leave, I'll disagree. Not about the Flintstones, entirely, but about the Jetsons: the show had a peculiarly 1950s view of the future, with its design emphasis on tail fins and on pointy spires with their irrelevant halos. It was tomorrow viewed through the lens of the pop culture of the day before yesterday. What I'm not just hoping, but (for a change) honestly thinking about our soon-to-be President is that he doesn't come from that place at all, but will have a classicist's view of our founding principles coupled with a truly forward-thinking view of where we as a nation need to go. ...Not that I expect to agree with the man about all his decisions; but I do expect to be able to follow his argument and find a reasoned justification for them, however much I might disagree with his reasoning.

(For the record, my disagreement with the "Flintstones" analogy is that as with all Hanna-Barbera cartoons, the characters are essentially nice people who want to be liked. This administration, on the other hand, is populated by ideologues and/or idiots who just want to win.)
