savages
We found The Golden Book Encyclopedia in the garbage when we were walking Orbit. Unfortunately not all volumes, otherwise I would have scanned something about camping, or about rattlesnakes. Piffin and Daphne are planning their camping trip. I agreed to drive them to Massassauga Park tomorrow, if they have camp sites available, that is. This is what the encyclopedia -copyright 1959- has to say about savages:
"You are acting like savages" children are sometimes told when they are cruel or when they have bad manners. Such a saying is not fair to savages. Most savages follow carefully their own ideas of good manners. And not all savages are cruel. Savages are merely people who are not yet civilized. They live much as our ancestors lived thousands of years ago.
