What an old cartoon from the 1930’s oddly teaches about progress

There's this old, bizarre Betty Boop cartoon made in 1933 I came across on Youtube called The Old Man of the Mountain. 

Summed up: a creepy old man with a long beard tries to molest Betty Boop while dancing to upbeat jazz-swing music sung by Cab Calloway, until a coterie of forest animals jumps the old man and wrestles him into submission. 

On one hand, this is the good ol' archetype of good winning over evil. 

Perceived through the woke-lens of present day, it's an objectification of women and makes unwanted sexual advances by a man toward a woman out to be entertaining. 

And honestly, I found the cartoon to be funny, but more like in a shaking my head in disbelief at how much the world has changed kind of way.   

But you know what hasn't changed? We will all die one day. (I haven't yet found a way to say this without being sudden about it.) 

But what doesn't die is our desire to pass on our values to our kids, grandkids, and those we love whom we leave behind once we are gone. 

I don't know if your personal diary reveals the values of a creepy old man, a feminist, or somewhere in between. But it's your right - nay, your duty - to pass your legacy on to the next generation. 

And you can do this by setting up a low-cost living trust, which I offer for sale here: https∶//denni.biz/low-cost-trust/  

One of the deepest, strongest emotions we have as humans is the desire for longevity. Your living trust is a way you can continue to shape and guide the world through the generation you leave behind. 

And I'm here to help you carry on that legacy.
