I'm beginning to see this everywhere. Jim henson seems to warn now, stuff I once believed to be completely devoid of such serious topics, it isnt, I think there may even have been a concerted effort to teach children certain morals.

I have this thing, that I call a 'saturday after school special moment', its when events in the real world conspire and place you in a position to make a moral choice, with real consequences, and all the people are right there waiting for your adherence to their immoral request (lie to your friend, trick someone for money, steal from someone, stuff like that) but not just where there is temptation, but where you are actively being told "do this for us" and you then, hopefully, refuse.

Its alarming how many of these a totally normal dude will see once he recognizes them. Anyway, it may very well be that these moment were defeated not by warning against a certain people, which would get shut down and rendered ineffectual and labeled blasphemy. Instead, it seems I was indoctrinated with at least a few solid moral philosophies at a young age, as such they are fully incorporated.

If you said something to me now, and I had a lie I could tell to gain some 'whatever' on you, I would not do it.

It is interesting.

We are told to become 'prejudiced' would dishonor our formers.... but thats not what they said.

In fact it seems that they railed against it in their own ways. One thing for sure, grandpa did not like Mtv and we were definitely warned.

So? It's part of the story. Who cares who illustrated it?
