The Good Old Days
A letter in today's Perth daily, The West Australian:
"Twenty-five years ago and you could take your kids to the beach and let them run around in the nick or you could buy a family nudist magazine from the local newsagent off the shelf and no one accused you of being a child sex offender.
Or you could go into the city to the X-club and watch X-rated movies on the big screen and then a stripper would come on, or you could go to the $2 peepshows in Northbridge and watch live, dancing nude girls, or they had topless barmaids on at the local hotel, or even hire an X-rated movie from the local video shop.
That was until the do-gooders took over the country and banned it all. Now we have people with spy cameras in their shoes spying up girls' skirts, or spy cameras in the bathroom or toilet spying on women and children, or downloading child nudity off the internet, or they have a hidden stash of illegal X-rated movies from the ACT, or taking secret photos with their phone camera."
Quite! I, too, remember the days when you could take a trolley car into town, have a slap-up meal, buy a bongo mag, take in a show, and still get change out of a shilling.
And then the do-gooders banned it all! Damn them all to hell. Hangings too good for them, I tell you.
