America is facing a war on whimsy, and we are losing ground daily. A monster pervades this nation, stealing sleep from schoolkids, tearing down national treasures and locking us in our homes to toil behind computer screens: efficiency. We have marched to the anthem of productivity since the Industrial Revolution; we think of children working away with coal-slathered faces in factories and believe we have evolved as a society. But I posit that as soon as we pilfered the chisel from the craftsman, we lost what it truly meant to be human.
