Also unfortunately, our judicial and prison systems do not understand this either. People aren't maliciously the way they are. They get broken for a reason. Our prison system acts as a punishment and as a profit center for for-profit companies who run them. They should be a place where the broken people put into them can receive the discipline and structure they need to cope with an adult world without endangering society or themselves in the process. If we ever actually manage to reach that point, I think our species would be able to evolve just a little bit more. I don't have high hopes that it's possible.
Most of the cartoons of the 70's were crap. Remember the old Spider Man or Star Trek cartoons? They didn't seem like they ran that long. I'm pretty sure the writers used a lot of LSD. Justice League and Scooby Doo were just formulaic crap. I don't recall the Flintstones or Jetsons being overtly bad, but I don't remember them being particularly good either. And that was the A list. Once noon rolled around, things went from bad to worse. I had to get that in there somehow.
As bad as all that was, though, it was worse in Japan. I lived my first 5 years in Japan. Anime depicting decapitations and blood everywhere seemed to be kids' fare there in the early 70s. Somehow they still all seemed to end up growing up less fucked-up overall than we did. Assuming that you consider them getting vending machines with used panties and us getting the mass-murder-of-the-week club them growing up less fucked up. Seems like things went slightly better over there to me.
