Subject: Forward: People over 35 should be dead!
According to today's regulations and bureaucracies, those of us who
were
kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably
shouldn't have survived.
Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We
had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets! and when we
rode ourbikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks we took
hitchhiking.)
As children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors!
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but
were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared
one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died
from this. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and
then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into
the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we
were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.
NO Cell Phones Unthinkable!
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no
video games at all, no channels on cable, video tape movies, surround
sound,personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms. We
had friends! We went outside and found them.
On a hot summer day we would take off and head for the river, lake,or pond and
dive in the cool water or took a try on a rope swing god for bid there was no
lifegaurd there or at least a growen up but as friends we looked after each other.
We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt. We
fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits
from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us.
Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned
to get over it. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate
worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very
many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door,
or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who
didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Some students weren't as
smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same
grade. Horrors! Tests were not adjusted for any reason.

Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. The idea of a
parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided
with the law. Imagine that!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and
problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an
explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility, and we learned to deal with it all. And you're one of
them!

Congratulations!

Please pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids,
before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good!

People under 35 are WIMPS!!

we went to the cave to get water, and learned NOT to spill a drop or we had to go get more.
We had to work on farms, odd jobs whatever to make a dollar for school or weekend.
We knew to respect the elder
We knew when parents looked at us it was time to shut-up, not keep talking
We could actually ride our bikes on the rode all day, and maybe meet 2 vehicles
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
GOD THERE'S A LOT OF THEM
BEFORE I GO

remember the days when we had to go to the outhouse or over the hill
and don't forget the leaves if paper wasn't available
