To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

As I look back in life I am simply amazed that I lived as a child eating everything that was tasty. My God! How did we survive without the nanny state dictating what was good for us?

Somehow, millions and millions of us did. However, we were not fat back in my day (born in 1946) simply because we did not sit on our asses watching TV, playing video games or fiddling with our cell phones. We actually went outside and played in “dangerous” swings, see-saws, monkey bars, and other “dangerous” apparatus not approved by the safety police.

Hell! We even played football, baseball and other “dangerous” games without approved protective gear!

I find it just amazing that we lived through our childhood without ANY involvement of our government.

I rode my single speed, coaster brake Sears tank-model bicycle all over the county, up hill and down dale, miles from home...and all WITHOUT A HELMET!!

Amazing that any of us lived to grow up, innit?
