    Crazy. This is a good article to point to when people say everyone used to be better. Aside from all the, you know, racism, sexism, etc.

      This country used to be absolutely fuckin bonkers on a day to day level, back before TV made everyone lethargic and gullible and slow to pick up on things. I’m not saying that as a good thing or a bad thing, it was just nuts.

      One of my grandad’s high school classes didn’t like their teacher, so they rushed the front of the class and grabbed him and hung him upside-down out the 2nd story window by his ankles. He never came back to class and they had to get someone else to teach who was capable of keeping the class in order.
