They knew what they want. Science gave it to them thanks to logic and facts. This time is now over. As Trump is president and more morons like him will follow the world will decline into a new stone age to be ruled by superstition and fake facts.
@dat What a boob. There is always some blockhead simpleton that has to make everything about politics.

I guess I’m blessed.
Great imagination for the future. Missed it on the clothes where he had zero imagination. It’s just as well he didn’t try. Styles can be all over the place as we’ve seen on EatLIver before.
The fact that this dates from 1910 is significant. The Wright Brothers had just convincingly demonstrated that heavier-than-air flight is possible, giving demos in Paris and elsewhere in Europe, and flight was all the rage. It is not surprising that so many of these images hinge on the possibilities for flight.
