Racer, I was in my 20's before I first saw a revolver on a policeman.
I was watching that John Wayne movie about raising the flag wherever it was after Iwo Jima (the things you see on Japanese TV) and that was like it was for us....kinda violent, but it was done with fists.
Decline of standards all round.It's the psychology that gets me. My best example is this....an old frind in her 80s is in a terrible provincial hospital, withdrawing (of neccessity, too difficult to organise the drugs) from her pathetic dose of oxycodone because this is a public hospital, and so, not sleeping and dying, she is in ill humour. One day she was taken for a bath and left there for maybe half an hour. She was a woman from the country so she just yelled until someone came.
The chart at the bottom of the bed had this.....
Problem: Patient calls out in bath.
Solution: Patient counselled to use the call feature.('Call feature' is my invention, but you will understand why I cannot resist it.)
