      It's not only that, but it shows that while he's still particular about a lot of his ideals, he's not a complete libertarian caricature in his ideology anymore.
      He approves of the federal government conserving land, and treats those that work under him fairly and equally, rather than subjecting them to absolute anarchy as he would in previous seasons.

    Ron's flash forward was the best part of the finale, and the most emotional one. It would have packed more of a punch in this clip if they included the end when Ron paddles in his canoe, smiling happily while "Buddy" played. His relationship with Leslie is the best part of the show and the ending reflects their absolute trust, devotion and understanding of each other. It was the perfect end for Ron, all because he reached out to his "workplace proximity acquaintance." The perfect moment to a perfect series finale.
