When I was young we were extremely ignorant about other people. I was told that people even in the next town were very dangerous: they "drink whiskey and have knives.... you had better not go over there." I was 7 years old when the first automobile came into Boston. When the owner of one of those excitingly new 1902 automobiles drove me over into one of those "dangerous" next towns, I could see no one who appeared to be more "dangerously threatening" than any of my very nonthreatening hometown neighbors.
