Nope, dime novels. Dreadful stuff about adventures, wide open spaces, heroes, honor, courtesy, and self reliance. You know, the kind of stuff that gives America a bad name with the elites of the world. Treachery, elitism, snobbery, and the like is what makes for a civilized man. Can't let the lower classes think they can improve themselves. BTW if socialist movements taught us anything positive, it's that adolescents must be kept too busy to get into trouble. Leaving a teenager to his own devices is a recipe for disaster. Jitterbugging? Nope, dime novels. Dreadful stuff about adventures, wide open spaces, heroes, honor, courtesy, and self reliance.
