   I’m emerging from my social media hiatus to share recent comments from Ken Burns. I’ve chatted with him a few times over the years, always to my benefit. He’s very worried about American democracy — I think with good reason.

   Here’s a video excerpt from his speech at Brandeis:

   A transcript of his speech:

   "The media and sullen nonvoters should listen to Ken Burns. The historian knows something about civil war — and moral responsibility in politics...

   "The choice this election, he explained, boils down to this: “There is only the perpetuation, however flawed and feeble you might perceive it, of our fragile 249-year-old experiment, or the entropy that will engulf and destroy us if we take the other route.”"
