He says the Smithsonian "has nothing about success"? It sounds like he has never visited the Air and Space museum, which is entirely an monument to success. It even has a "futures in space" exhibit! (despite his claim that it has "nothing about the Future" -- though this is new, so maybe a response to his complaints).

It's a shame that he's trying to ruin these museums and create conflict in the streets. I was hoping to take my kids to them soon.

I've long been confused by people who complain that media are 'too negative', because that's not my experience. It just shows me that they are paying attention to the wrong media, or maybe focused too much on the past, or their own narrow interests. I tend to read a good deal of science and technology news, which tends to be optimistic by nature. But any rigorous news source (like the Economist) avoids that 'negative trap' because they trust that their readers want routine updates and don't need charged emotions as motivation to read.
