When I was a kid I used to watch Sesame Street.
I liked Burt and Ernie but I especially liked the monsters.
Monsters included: The Count, Mr. Snufiluficus, Cookie Monster, Groucho and Big Bird.
Now of course, dear reader, these monsters must’ve been nice because we wouldn’t want monsters to be scaring the kids. Knowing this, it is fair to say that kids were taught that monsters were nice.
Present day monsters (eg. serial killers, rapists) are, of course, not nice.
But, as a child, how are they able to tell the difference?
I await your considered judgement.
