10. Humor is infinitely more enjoyable than rage, and is a useful teaching mechanism.
9. People are happiest when immersed in something that requires focus and effort.
8. Every problem is an opportunity.
7. Blaming others, even those responsible for problems, doesn't help solve them. Especially when they are actively incentivized not to.
6. At this point, there's little hope for anyone to be liked enough to bring Americans back together, but everyone can laugh at This Dude.

4. Campaign finance is boring.
