Don Herbert, aka "Mr. Wizard", (July 10, 1917 - June 12, 2007) corrupted or attempted to corrupt millions of young American minds for almost forty years with his television shows about science. Apparently, before the Contract with America, no one in America was thinking of the children. In those dark, pre-Republican-majority days, men like Mr. Wizard spread their learn-loving, answer-seeking, pro-discovery agenda to America's children unimpeded by America's parents. To be fair, this was before the technological breakthrough of the VChip, but still... there's no getting around the fact that America's families allowed Mr. Wizard to bring science into their children's heads.
