And here’s the thing:
Should the absolute worst case happen with their child, the first thing these folks would do is blame the school and why didn’t they help the child…
Never mind their parenting sucks canal water, but it’s always someone else’s fault.
ETA: and I say that, with a grandson with mental health issues whose parents are doing everything they can to help him - not every kid is that lucky.
I would bet they imported them, just like the Egyptians did. The Romans believed in the ‘ways of the ancestors’ and if the ANCESTORS crucified people then goldurnit THEY would crucify people even if it took an extra 6wks to get the wood.
Or maybe they stole wood. IF a person had a pottery kiln for instance, they needed a lot of wood.
Extremely conservative society in ‘social order.’
OT: Are you the hiver that recommended “Devil in the White City”? If so, I want to thank you. I’d lost track of Erik Larson and his books are fantastic.
Uh, maybe not.
