Sad. I wonder how many more runaways from the 1960s just vanished. They’re not all living off-grid in the hills.
2,000 people a day “vanish” in this country.
The faith that “people are basically good” led to a lot of trust and openness in the 1960s, but also exposed a lot of innocent people to the true evil that can exist in the world, manifested here in the insane mind of Manson.
