Doesn't this come under the heading of "don't we have better things to do with government funds"????

Pinging...shaking head in amazement over our government’s
hand-wringing wrong headedness! Geez! Aren’t we in enough debt
over frivolous expenditures?

Didn’t the “Regulators” have something to do with “Billy the Kid”?

I have a theory that one of the reasons American kids are so behind in science is that we have “regulated” our kids out of it.

When I was growing up you were free to experiment. I rode my bike everywhere, made lethal concoctions with my chemistry set, blew up fireworks, played games that people were “shot”, hung from jungle gyms, “cooked” in my easybake oven, etc.

None of those things are accepted nowadays. I went to the toy store yesterday. Almost every toy was a bland “collectable”. Nothing to really stimulate the imagination. Everything was “non toxic” and blunt.

Granted, something doesn’t have to be poisonous to be fun, but it’s really amazing kids’ imagination has been corralled and put in a box.

sad but eff ‘em. Take the paper clips out and put an instruction to go get a paper clip.

Of course, if you thwart the ignorant sobs one way they will get you somewhere else.

Better to just off ‘em.

don’t we all pretty much hate the government by now?

Anyone remember the old “Things of Science” boxes? As a kid in the 50s, I got some old ones (from the 40s) from a neighbor and signed up myself. Loved ‘em until they started getting cheezy.

In the hands of Chuck Norris, one of these things would be deadly.

Never heard of a toxic paper clip? Neither have the manufacturers of science kits for classrooms across the country.
Eliminating science is part of the broader campaign of eliminating education of all kinds, in order to create an indoctrinated underclass of proles. Thanks LUV W.
