Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just reading through some of your social media posts, and
you people make me trouble just saying which is better
than making me sick? Was I gripe it about what's
her face? Gilbert yesterday? Yes? I was. And I got
a couple of notes on that. People don't understand why
how I can be so vigilant when it comes to
(00:23):
protecting children the exploitation of children. Stories like this ai
being used to exploit children. And I was okay with
the Melissa Gilbert storyline and Little House on the Prairie
of getting married when she was fifteen to a man
who is twenty four.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
When does Little House on the Prairie take place?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Eighteen fifty two? I think it was something like that
back in the eighteen hundreds, when it was not uncommon
for people in their teens to get married.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It's not uncommon to marry your cousins and stuff in
the South to like the fifties.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, so that's it.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Times for difference.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm trying not to be mad at the question of
why I'm not offended by this, but honestly, and I
don't mean this in a mean way. I'm not going
to use your name. This is not mean. This is
this is a legitimate response. It's a ridiculous question. The
(01:29):
eighteen hundreds are not today and back then. I mean,
if you lived to forty years old, you had a
good long life. So getting married at fifteen, sixteen years
old not uncommon. Having four or five kids by your
twenty first birthday not uncommon, because chances are you'd be
(01:51):
dead in a couple of decades.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I mean you could get a cut on your leg
and get infected and die, yes, just that easy.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, you couldn't run down to the emergency room again,
let yourself some amoxicillin or something like that. So yeah,
that was a The storyline from the Little House on
the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, based on her
actual life, was completely legitimate. There was nothing wrong with it.
(02:22):
And the fact that he in the in the television show,
her husband was represented as being twenty four years old
and she was fifteen years old or sixteen whatever it was,
that too, was very common because a young girl didn't
want to get married to a young guy and both
of them trying to feel their way through life. Parents
wanted to marry their daughters off to an established young
(02:44):
man who was out there making his way, maybe maybe
already owned himself. A few acres was a little dirt farman,
or raising a few cows, or or something.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That average life expectancy back then was thirty eight to
forty two.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's what I'm saying. Forty years old, you're dead, which
is why people were getting married at fifteen sixteen years
old not uncommon at all, and even our laws today,
you know when you talk about statutory rape sixteen years old,
which I think, frankly is ridiculously young for a law,
(03:22):
but that's what it is, and that's based on that
old premise that at sixteen you are capable of consenting
to susch relations. But to compare my outrage over people
in twenty twenty five who use and abuse children to
(03:44):
a storyline in a television show that is based but
two hundred years ago. I'm sorry, but I don't get you,
and I hope you understand what I'm saying here. I'm
not mad at you. I'm not trying to be mean.
(04:04):
Oh I'm mad, but I have I'm giving you a
legitimate response to your question because I think you asked
it legitimately. I really think you're off based on that
and that's the way it is American. I just, you know,
we keep trying to do stuff that is the equivalent
of tearing down the Christopher Columbus statue. As far as
(04:26):
I'm concerned, what it was in fourteen ninety two and
what it is in twenty twenty five are not the
same blasted thing. Quite Applying today's standards, which are not
universal by the way, to four or five hundred years ago,
(04:49):
they don't apply. We change, we progress, we evolve as
human beings, as a country, as a culture, as a
philosophy called America.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean, back then, you could get in a card
fight at a saloon and shoot somebody in the face
from the butt.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah. The guy, the the.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Cop would be like, take your guns. Yeah, okay, it's
a little out of control.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Why'd you shoot him? He called me yellow? Okay, yeah, yeah.
Just it's it's a different world. And that's I guess
what we have to accept. Quit quit going back the
same people who you know, they laughed at Donald Trump
when he was talking about the you know, the memories
of America, what we used to be, and and things
(05:38):
like that. You can't go back to the fifties, Donald Trump.
You move forward. That's coming from the same people that
want to go back to pre civil war and get reparations. Well,
why can you guys go back if it means a
check and he can't go back if it means a
nice memory. We were better. Yeah, we had a problems,
(06:00):
and we got our problems today. We had our problems
one hundred years ago. We will have our problems one
hundred years from now. But as people, we were better
toward one another. There was even in the oppressed let
me say this right here, right now, right straight to
your face, even the oppressed black faces of the United
(06:22):
States of America in nineteen fifty. While there were the
struggles and the challenges and the discrimination and all of
the things you could not have, there was a dignity,
a dignity to life. This is your place in the
(06:44):
ecosystem as it stands right now. But you know what,
Dad was there, married to mom, raising the children, church
on Sunday, children respected, no drive by shootings. I can't
say it was all bad. There were bad elements. There
will always be bad elements, but it wasn't all bad.
(07:12):
And if you think it was, there's a a pretty
good chance you didn't live through it. You're going by
the stuff you hear today. I'm not going to get
to the state of Ohio story, and I really wanted to,
but once again they're they're screwing around with the cannabis.
And look, it came before the voters. The voters legalized it.
(07:37):
Let me just say here very quickly. This new plan
they're talking about includes banning, of course, the intoxicating HIMP.
But here's where it gets interesting, and sending money to
cities where legal marijuana is sold untill those who are
selling the legal marijuana can legally put their money in
(08:00):
the banks. That's a stupid plan. I understand it's legal
in the state of Ohio now, but at the federal
level it's not. So if anything, you ought to be
dealing with that at the federal level. Get it legalized.
And I hate the stuff. I can't stand it. I
don't like people who rely on it. I can't stand
(08:21):
the smell of it. But it is what it is,
so let's do it like it makes some sense instead
of like an agenda means everything
