In the long term, violent crime in the United States has been in decline since colonial times.[6] However, during the early 20th century, crime rates in the United States were higher compared to parts of Western Europe. For example, 198 homicides were recorded in the American city of Chicago in 1916, a city of slightly over 2 million at the time. This level of crime was not exceptional when compared to other American cities such as New York, but was much higher relative to European cities, such as London, which then had three times the population but recorded only 45 homicides in the same year.[7]
After World War II, crime rates increased in the United States, peaking from the 1970s to the early 1990s. Violent crime nearly quadrupled between 1960 and its peak in 1991. Property crime more than doubled over the same period. Since the 1990s, however, crime in the United States has declined steeply.

My dad didn't believe in an ole fashioned hand spanking. He used a leather belt with rhinestones. Fortunately for me the rhinestones were gone by the time he practiced disciplining me. Can't say that for my older brothers though.

Captain Kangaroo was my hero.
Mr. Green Jeans and The Rabbit. Funny how things like that can influence your behavior. Kids mimic whatever adult figure there is in their life.
Barney and Friends anyone?
Whatever Happened To Mr. Green Jeans?

The captain kangaroo guy, I am assuming is in the red, looks like he is going to bust out singing with a silver, corded microphone any minute now "She's a lady" by Tom Jones all 70's style.
And those alien things, are those tele tubbies, (spelled right?). Those things looks like insane aliens with rabbit ear antennas on their heads!
Although...if you looks closely, they DO resemble some of the ham radio guys you see at hamfests. Kinda nerdy, antennas built into their hats, trying to contact aliens... think about it.

With different music it looks like something the Beatles did.

For me, it didn't get any better than Looney Tunes, Mr. Rogers, and The Electric Company (but, what did I know, I was a kid, LOL).

The best bit of advice I ever got came from Big Bird on Sesame Street. In one show he said "If you don't know what to do, figure it out". That's the best advice ever and it's served me well!!
Too bad there are so many people out there posting to the internet asking others to spoon feed them the solution to even the most simple challenge or decision. I've always said Mike Judge had it right with the movie "Idiocracy"
