Some with 6 or 8 big red eyes, 8 or 10 legs, and powerful looking claws, or pinchers! And I thought to myself, I'm glad I'm an omnivore, and eat my meat cooked, rather than raw n wriggling!

And of course, in US schoolbooks, John Wayne, and Tyrone Power whipped the entire Axis all by themselves. It took a World-wide effort to defeat the Axis. And so, everyone who worked for the various resistance groups, worked in a munitions plant, toted a rifle, or swabbed a deck, can be said to have "won" the war.

Libertines--Extremely naive rich people, obsessed with applying the concept of laissez-faire to every aspect of human life.

davknight comments on Apr 10, 2019:

Once upon a time, brothels could be found in every city and town in America. But then, the Methodists, Baptists, Anti-Saloon League, and Temperance Union moved in. And community life changed. No longer could a town remain half Methodist, and half sinfulness and damnation. The bordellos, 'sportin parlors', and other dens of iniquity were shut down. No longer could a farmer, or worker, bring his thirteen-yr old son to a kindly, understanding madame, to break him in on the birds, bees, n sech! (This was how many a farm boy lost his virginity in the old days). There are still traces left, here and there. I know of one Colorado town, where a nineteenth-century bordello is now part of a community college campus. In another Colorado town, one can see 'cribs' (shantys where independent prostitutes practiced their trade), that now serve as storage sheds in residential backyards. Originally, they sat directly opposite a railroad workers camp. And in the town of Milliken, Colorado, many of the streets are named after prostitutes who once plied their trade there.
