I was thinking that the other day about cartoons. Heck just watching Dumbo with my kid I got to see crows, smoking cigars, and a underage elephant drinking alcohol and waking up in a tree after passing out.
Like I said..if you didn't grow up back then you can't identify with it.
The "tiny insulated town" I grew up in ? New York City my friend.
And you are still focusing on the WHAT and not the WHY.
I did grow up back then.
Good to know no one got murdered in New York "back in the day"
The "WHY" is because humans kill humans...always have and always will.
I guess you never heard of nazi gas chambers, people being slaughtered throughout history for not converting to someone else's faith, being burned to death in a factory because of greed(murder), ...oh, the list goes on and on but if you choose to ignore it...go right ahead...coccoons are so warm and definitely fuzzy.

True and kids weren't given chemicals to calm them down for 12 years in school.
There's a myriad of changes society has undergone. I'm sure there's even more that you or I have forgotten.
In my opinion though, I don't think society has gotten better from all these changes.
