13. Why, oh why do people insist on applying current standards to events...

...that are decades old?

Yes, it wasn't a good thing, but at the time it happened, the vast majority of people would not have batted an eye at the sight of a dog carrier on the roof of a car. AND a goodly number would have thought the trail of dogshit on the Duco a real hoot. AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED.

We condenm any number of 3rd world/developing countries for practices which we are only a few generations (or less) away from ourselves: Child labour and marriage, women and children as property, legally sanctioned rape, animal cruelty, SLAVERY.
