Even more stupid moral panics
A man ... wants to give his wife ... the interest in a little homestead where her sister lives. How wicked to have found fault with it. How petty to have found fault with it. (Hosea Knowlton in his closing argument.)

Re: Even more stupid moral panics
Oh my goodness! I agree, these moral panics are stupid, but they are also funny. The one that I found most interesting is the one about dancing to the Waltz. Since this dance had become one of the trendiest dances in the world by the 19th century, I wonder if Lizzie ever danced to the Waltz.

I wouldn't be surprised. It's not high on my list of mysteries, though.

I'm afraid that may have come across the wrong way! Sorry, if so!

No, it didn't come across in the wrong way, I understood what you meant.

Re: Even more stupid moral panics
I'm a little late reading this thread but glad I did. I remember when the parents were complaining that pinball machines used metal that we needed for the war effort. Interesting panic stuff.
