No documentary about Netherlands is complete without the country's police - best police on or off the planet.

So you talk about mobs and the working classes as if they were the question. You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists. - G.K. Chesterton

Re: PBS
Not sure what I was thinking of when I said I was watching the ‘four’ episodes of the PBS documentary on the Vietnam war. Turned out there were ten. Watched the final one last night. Breathtaking in detail, even handed for the most part and a sobering look at a terrible and unnecessary war. What a truly excellent piece of work. What tv was made for.
It’s on Netflix. Watch it if you are remotely interested in the history.

Re: PBS
The last thing I would watch is Netflix for history (well for anything really but there are those less discerning). Little better than History Channel.
So you pay money to watch a free service? Warped but of course if you use social media you are sold. I suppose next will be a Libra bank account next to the Amazon account.
