It was essential to restore the people’s faith in their government. The 50’s and 60’s were very hard on government, which was found to be infested with communists, witches, racists, anti-communists, anti-racists and witch hunters of all sorts, all making life more difficult and less pleasant for the common citizen, who just wanted to earn a living and raise a family in peace.Without their faith, it would be impossible to abuse their faith.
A-Heah!@Happy, Happy, Happy!!!As God is my witness, as God is my witness they’re not going to lick me. I’m going to live through this and when it’s all over, I’ll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again.
