Been outside lately? Stuck on a freeway? Ever bar-b-que? Camp out? Get your electricity from outer space? Belong to a volunteer fire department? Have a good remedy for forest fires?

Here's a good cartoon from New York City:

Thanks for the great cartoon, Shelion.

on a more serious note, I don't know how old are the posters here, but I'm getting old and am appalled at what the younger generation doesn't know. I wonder how many know how many freedoms they've already lost without even firing a shot. Alas! I'm afraid it's as someone recently said, "too late to do anything about it, but too early to start shooting the ba$$tards."

There was a time when every twelve year old owned a gun and knew how to use it. Many of them even carried them to school and after school they put meat on the family table. There was a time when we didn't have cumbersome kiddie car seats and force babies to cry without end since their mother had to make them ride backward in the back seat and couldn't retrieve so much as a pacifier. We had METAL dashboards too and no seat belts, just a mother's strong arm. We wore what we had to school and there were no dress codes. We gave to our churches, and there was no welfare state. Cars weren't inspected since only fools would risk having one's vehicle fall in the road. Thirty-five miles an hour was fast enough, and slow enough to smell the flowers.

We didn't fill up the jails with DWI offenders either. The worse that could happen if one got drunk was fall off one's horse. LOL
