What is our problem in America? If you ask me, the lamb is in the yard and the wolf has jumped the gate.
Frank James Jumped A Few Gates Himself
In 1902, Frank James sought a court order to prevent the play, The James Boys in Missouri, from being shown on stage in Kansas City, Missouri. He voiced his concern like this:
“The dad-binged play glorifies these outlaws and makes heroes of them…. I am told the Gilliss Theatre was packed to the doors last night, and that most of those there were boys and men. What will be the effect on these young men to see the acts of a train robber and outlaw glorified?”
The lamb is in the yard. . .
"Just remember that once you are over the hill you begin to pick up speed."
—Arthur Schopenhauer
