If you watched for a while, every now and then you’d see a leg or a boob for a moment. Simpler times.
You are blessed. Enjoy your family and this beautiful natural environment.
From wiki:
The story is commonly recognized as a fable concerning the danger of greed causing human destruction of the natural environment, using the literary element of personification to create relatable characters for industry (the Once-ler), the environment (the Truffula trees) and environmental activism (the Lorax). The story encourages activism and involvement in making the situation better: a quote from the Lorax states, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not”.
Dr. Seuss singled out The Lorax as his personal favorite of his books – in it, he managed to create an engaging story highlighting how economic growth is often prioritised over environmental issues. Dr. Seuss stated: “The Lorax came out of me being angry. The ecology books I’d read were dull…In The Lorax I was out to attack what I think are evil things and let the chips fall where they might”.
The Friday night lineup in those days was Dukes, followed by The Love Boat, followed by Fantasy Island. I didn’t know it was racist. I thought it was a sort of Robbin Hood story with cool car jumps and a corrupt Sheriff of Nottinghazzard.
Chic tracts. Serious propaganda aimed at convincing 80s children that they will be going to vividly imagined hell if they don’t accept Jesus as their lord and savior. I’m not ashamed to say my 12 year old self had a moment of doubt.
We might get there early
