The point is that everyone needs some exposure to the various ways of life. People buy things out of catalogues too much. They see in Time magazine that they’re suppose to be feeling in such and such a way, and they dash off a check and buy that life-style sight unseen. A pig in a poke if there ever was one, for once you’ve bought the thing there’s no refund. We ought to be able to try things before we sign up for them. Used to be you could listen to the records in a record store before you bought them. Now they’re sealed, for your protection, they say. Bullshit! It’s for their goddamned protection, not ours. We don’t need to be protected. We need to be allowed to get a taste of something before we accept it.
