Events observed in script tags are still observed when changing page

Issues like this are why Turbolinks is a bad idea.

This is true, actually not a difficult fix either. This was implemented before turbolinks decided to retain events on the dom on page change. I would recommend avoiding writing any js in the document.body if you can avoid it. This was added to help those who couldnt do that for various reasons.

However, now that the dom is preserved in the history, along with all event listeners, this really needs to only be executed on page:load type fetch requests and not when pages are restored from history cache.

I'll try and submit a pull request that does just that this evening for you.

@wycats Either help in the search for solutions or go heckle another git repo.
