It goes back even further. Look up Frederick Ludwick Hoffman. 3 US Presidents proposed a national healthcare system. The answer was “no”. There are racist roots to why we don’t have healthcare for all.

Frederick Douglass met with Daniel O’Connell in Ireland in 1845. Several other abolitionists travelled there as well.

I know you were probably joking, but as a PSA I will add that you NEVER dip any ‘bits’ or any body part in plaster in a closed, rigid container! 😬 A mold should be made with alginate, silicone, or other resilient material. The plaster is what would be poured into the mold afterwards, to make a casting. thanks.

To me he always looks like one of those old, colorized photos, or maybe a ventriloquist dummy. Maybe it’s the rosy cheeks, I dunno.

Yes- people are constantly worrying about the wrong things. Maybe they should be wary of lighting, because there are much greater chance of harm there than vaccine reaction (somewhere between 12-53 per million doses) and airline crashes (chance is .090 per million, or 1 in 11 million).

I accept this. I saw these when they premiered- like lining up outside the theatre and everyone cheering, etc. That was in middle school and high school and it was a true experience at the time. So, I’ll always have a soft spot for them, but you’re basically correct.

Similarly, my friend’s Grandpa had a neighbor in Burbank, CA who was the ‘Hamburgler’ for McD’s. TV Commercials, etc. She was a diminutive woman.
