I got hooked on the first 3-4 seasons of The West Wing years ago. I'll occasionally dust them off when I want to watch something I only sorta pay attention to (because if I'm really watching it, I get annoyed by how preachy it is).
In either event, I had it on a couple weeks ago and heard a great line - something of a throwaway - that I had never picked up on before:

It's just so...simple. It's fundamental is a lot of ways. And man oh man do we often lose sight of it.
Maybe it takes a triggering event every decade or so to keep it more at the forefront of our consciousness, but man we can take a LOT and keep punching.
