Maybe the thought that it takes a village is easier for women to understand than men. I love that he noticed how the Bonanza writers were so different than most of the other westerns. The kind of man he was describing made me think of Martin Luther King. Also, thanks to the wonders of Facebook, I joined a Bonanza fan page and asked about your photos. A lady recognized it as season 1 episode 24 with Lloyd Nolan.

That's amazing! Lloyd Nolan! And I love your reflections — the village is so much a global one now, that our base impulses aren't going to serve us collectively any longer. Grateful for the men who live and lead with that awareness, like Steve and MLK and Ben Cartwright. Thanks Amy!
