Tom + Jerry Soliloquy

I jumped back when I realized what The Captain had said...something about some government proclamation in the 21st Century that banned all violent cartoons...then lo and behold, whoa...it's almost like that actually came true!--Am I right? None of the great cartoons from the past are on Saturday Morning anymore---instead: government-endorsed "edutainment..."

I realize they are not "banned," but still...

I was really surprised. (( Unless that legislation had already been passed and it was not prophetic script-writing ))

That part of the script was smart, a PhD dissertation in anthropology: "this animated animosity regularly served as a collective catharsis for the masses" .. Brilliant analysis!
