In the <a href="http://www.eviliz.com/2013/04/my-interface-with-manson-family-by-sue_4.html" rel="nofollow">third part of her contribution</a> said poignantly:<br /><br /><i>Finally, there is the almost-forgotten zeitgeist of the era before contraception was widely available – the era into which the Manson followers were born. The parents of the Manson followers could not limit the number of children they had. This led to the phenomenon of 1960s-era "throwaway children." Dads returned from WWII or the Korean War and took up the Playboy Philosophy, leaving the Moms with too-large families to support. Some kids were rejected; others simply got neglected. Some of the Mansonites may have emerged from that type of situation. In 21st Century America, few of us still recall those times.</i><br /><br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06766282574442161929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-49533618245786850312013-06-04T13:24:26.350-04:002013-06-04T13:24:26.350-04:00This article written, long ago, lays out most of ...This article written, long ago, lays out most of what that I've spent years learning about how the Charley phenomenon came to be.
