Titicut Follies




I worry where I'll go crazy.....maybe go to that crazy shit from the Titticut Follies.

Which, basically, if you were even mildly mentally damaged and convicted of a crime in '60 Massachusetts, you were. This film represents the only time in history that the US government has sued for an individual's right to privacy; it's quite patently bullshit. One man shown in this film was convicted of petty robbery and sentenced to 5 years in 1912; this film was not made in 1917. This film exemplifies everything terrifying about government, and not in some malevolent way; it if gets you, it will be through systematic miscare and an abrogation of human dignity. Oy vey!
