"You all know the obvious ones: like comic books and Dungeons & Dragons, but we
like to highlight the truly oddball ones that people these days don't realize
were ever possibly considered a threat to our moral fabric. Things like chess
and the waltz. Oh, and of course the printing press."

Hopefully laughing at historical moral panics can teach us to be very skeptical
of the currently fashionable ones.

Share and enjoy,
