And another piece of Americana falls.
Not gonna make this social warrior, political, etc. Just going to express my sorrow for a child's fun day that will no longer be around.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: The Circus is dead! Long live the circus!
Went to many of these myself as a child. As an adult, I always found it ironic that the crowds were overwhelmingly children, while the costumes worn by the female performers, if worn in pretty much any other setting, would have been scandalous.
One thing that will live on is the truth of the adage attributed (probably inaccurately) to P.T. Barnum -- "There's a sucker born every minute."Comment

Re: The Circus is dead! Long live the circus!
I get the animal acts being killed. The fact that they could not find a way to make them work without cruelty really tells us something about how horrific it was for them behind the scenes. So for those acts, like dog fighting and bear baiting and other charming rituals of the past, good riddance.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View Post
