38. People used to take their kids to watch hangings until we stopped having them in public
Nothing's changed. I have an Eastern European friend who lived in Yemen as a kid, and her geologist father took her to see a man's hands be cut off when she was four years old. Violence is a human condition, and as much as we might think we've banished it to some dark cave, we haven't.
