...that is a lot of old white blokes. Did they have a gift shop where they got those matching cowboy hats?
I suppose I had failed to consider the amount of time freezing (Piper in Charmed, if you will) people are willing to do in their minds. Apparently, a lot. Those folks certainly do look like they're old enough to have at least been raised in the 50's. My Aunt was alive in the 50's and either America was particularly crazy and Australia reasonably sane... or she's just realised people are people and need to be taken care of, I don't know.
I do know she remarked something about her mother not approving of communism, because Aunty Duck said she told her the same thing she told me, more or less.
Leads me to think that it's not just in the raising... or that there might be hope that more people will wake up and smell the lack of 50's. :D
The problem with calling things evil is that you start making monsters out of tiny, stupid things which means people start thinking there is a lot of stuff hiding in the shadows, and IT'S OUT TO GET YOU, MAN. (or is that 70's paranoia? >D) Which leads to the shouting and sometimes not so virtual pissing contests when it comes to arguing about what's evil and what's good.
...that is more than a little frightening, really. But there is a downside to free speech and such. It means you have to cope with the loons who are in the wrong decade.
She is :D
...should not comment at 5 am. please forgive any extra insanity. Think of it like sprinkles.
