You know, I remember when I was a kid I could drink for the garden hose, ride in the back of a pickup truck, climb trees and ride my bicycle without haveing all these THOU SHALT NOTs flying around. I never got sick from drinking from the garden hose, I never was thrown from the back of the pickup truck, I never fell from the tree... ok, I DID fall off my bicycle and skin my knees, but that was being a kid! BFD! You know, I'm 47 years old and all winter I've been thinking about getting a bicycle. And NO I'm not thinking about getting a helmet or football padding. I fall off the thing it's my own damned fault. Period! I also cross at the corners, use the crosswalks, stop when the light says so and look both ways before crossing the street (even if I DO have the green light. I'm not stupid.) It's sad to say this, but the problem with people nowadays is they don't feel like they have to take reaponsibility for their actions. Only losers fail to take responsibility for their own actions. If that makes me a dinosaur than I'm proud to be one.
