People Over 35 Should Be Dead!

[CHD]

People over 35 should be dead. Here's why.

 

 

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, 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 our bikes, 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 we 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 99 channels on cable, video

tape movies, surround sound, cell phones, personal

computers, or Internet chat rooms.

 

We had friends! We went outside and found them.

 

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 how 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 30, politicians and lawyers are WIMPS
