It must've been an optional feature that many wanted, so it became "standard".
I recall the neighbor's kid tricking his sis into the dryer in the late 1950's.
Imagine the exponential MISCHIEF available w/ gore & guts available...
In your mind'sπ,
there's Jeffrey Dahmer, on the one EXTREME,
& a VALID oncern re:
something planted
w/o your knowledge...
My Mom found cans of
"Frozen Daquari Concetrate"
in our basement freezer,
circa late 1960's,
suburban Washington DC.
She KNEW it was "CONTRABAND",
per our max-authoritarian house rules.
She told me she had time to think b/f we came home from school,
REALIZED my bro's mellowness of late @
DINNERTIME, wasn't "maturity" after all,
βοΈd UNDER his BED,
FOUND a fully stocked BAR,
DEDUCED his CHESS partner LYNDON,
was packing more than game pieces,
& subversively endorsing "alternative" coping methods not permitted on our premises... π
It was settled w/o violence, but I think a LOCK was part of
Jesus made locks (...)
& is the fount of all wisdom, comfort,
and charity...
we were pretty much on "starvation rations" in that household by that point, but Our Lord, even when hidden, is
never in a hurry...
My bro went to VN the next year,
&
miraculously I got "deliverance" to an off-beat college in IL cornfields,
800 mi. away (my parents NEVER anticipated THAT one),
so scapegoating & abuse weren't
so automatic or EZ to "justify".
Staying away for years @ a clip
("voting w/ our feet") also spoke loudly.
