fulakarp Bless her heart, she had to return to her normal 50's housewife life, knowing what she knows about the universe.
Oscar Wildcat But not for long, thanks to Alfred Hubbard and Agustus Owlsey. I wonder if they have any video docs of Kesey? Revenge of the guinea pigs!
I wouldn't be so sure. Maybe she moved to the Village and shacked up with some folkies.
Oscar Wildcat Incredible. I was starting to flash back there for a few moments...
dowstroyer666 Same here....hehe, she had no idea what she was getting into which makes this all the more amusing and terrifying.
pressed peanut sweepings I didn't realize that the world was actually black and white back then.
The Townleybomb Some states were actually in color as early as 1947, but most places didn't manage anything other than black, white and muddy brown until as late as 1961.
Anaxagoras Actually, Mississippi didn't become color until 1962, but your dates are otherwise accurate.
Konversekid Yes, but that was completely by choice. They had had the infrastructure to start living in colour for half a decade at that time, however the patriotic conservatives that populated the area preferred to maintain their traditional manner of living.
This all changed in 1962 when it was first proposed that their state of colourlessness be advertised to promote state tourism. This was met with outrage as the people of Mississippi saw their way of life being presented as a disrespected novelty, at which point they conformed with the rest of the United States. This change was met with relatively little death, despite the prevalence of radical colour traditionalists in the State.
