As a Scandinavian, I was raised on Hans Christian Andersen. I found his tale of the "Emperor's New Clothes" ("Keiserens Nye Klaer") idiotic, however. I reasoned that you could not fool all of the people all of the time. That's before America in the 1990s, which has fallen under the spell of deception from its emperor, the president. Thankful I am to be living in this great city by the salty sea, where the salt of perception and discernment has not yet lost its flavor.
