don't mix with new groups

I'm a bit busy today, but not so busy that I couldn't take the time to post this important reminder....
...that the Good Old DaysTM were actually pretty damn horrifying, and wonder why our society is more germ-o-phobic now than it was back in the days when polio, scarlet fever, and the like were far more widespread and less easily prevented and/or treated.

Rip, Rig, and Panic - Beware (from God, 1981) - I had been saving this short but unsettling instrumental number by the genre-transcending postpunk-jazz-funk collective (which included a couple members of The Pop Group and a pre-"Buffalo Stance" Neneh Cherry) for this year's Halloween countdown, but October is quite a ways off and it fits today's topic perfectly in both title and tone.

Don't mix with new groups.

Is it any wonder kids had such a hard time with integration and stereotypes. Suprised he left out don't act above your place as well.
