When I'd spend the weekend with my dad, I'd stand up in the back seat while the top was down. I loved the wind on my face going over the San Mateo bridge.
I also had a chemistry set, and set off a firecracker in Drama class in 8th grade. It was the intro for my speech on "Chemistry Fun at Home." Got an A for originality. Damn, that sucker was loud when it exploded!
Just turned 63 last month.
I'm still a rebel. When I pick up my grandson after school, I'll buckle him in the back, without a car seat. Of course, we're only going a half mile, and he's nearly 7.
Of course, I keep an eye out for law enforcement.
Dad wouldn't be able to perform that maneuver today with kids wearing seat belts.
LOL...amazing....we survived. :)
When you come across enough scenes like that you won’t drive around the corner without your seatbelt...
Many non-white kids are raised in environments that lawmakers would never tolerate for white children.
You’re making the argument for legalized abortion: Society in general has no responsibility to protect those who can’t protect themselves.
Abortion is murder and a fit subject for the criminal law. It is also normally not within the family putting it another step outside of any family privacy. It is properly illegal to procure a murder and the purchaser or instigator of such a service is subject to penalties as is the one who provides that service.
Does society in general have a responsibility to ensure parents feed a child? That is within the family.
There is no justification for letting people endanger their children in such a flagrant manner in vehicles.
There is no Constitutional justification for the government to be interfering in self or family protection. The Constitution is worthless if it is only adhered to except those things you want other people to be forced to do.
You can't be 63. I'm 63. Because I did all of the same stuff when I was a kid, I figured that I was the only one left in the country in my age-group ...
