a coercive "social" control and system of psychological modification of behavior permeated the place I was in
a very small thing that bothers me most to this day for some odd reason and which I think about often is when my father gave me a silver dollar, just before he died
and that same man ran a "bank" for the kids, to safeguard any little bit of money any of us had, so as a ten year old I tendered my silver dollar for safekeeping to him and he took it
some time later, just to check on my silver dollar, I went to his office to inquire about it and he claimed no memory of my silver dollar although he had dutifully entered into his ledger the fact I had given him a dollar and all he would give me is a paper dollar
now that hacks me off still
