Sad thing is I BELIEVED it at the time.
When you're 10 years old in 1977, and Orson Welles tells you such things in scary 16mm movies, plus he sells Paul Masson wine, you KNOW that as a kid you need to listen.
Turns out that Woodsy the Owl, Paul Erlich, and Uncle Smiley were full of $hit propagandists.
I still love the outdoors, and nature.
But I pretty much figured out these pinko's number by age 20.
Since then, I've had such a visceral hatred for such people. And their attempts at brainwashing.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone.
mark.
¿Por qué no?

I didn't believe anything I was told until I could verify it myself.

Yes, the Left was preaching the end of the world. The religious right, in my family was teaching me that I would be raptured away, would never drive a car, graduate from high school etc. I believed them. I thought I would never get laid!. Now the same bunch were saying that about my kids when they were little. I had a hard time biting my tongue. Now my kids are starting to drive about to graduate etc.
Just makes me sick the way we all grow up surrounded by mythology from authorities in our lives.
that’s what I was thinking while reading the article.
