Thought of the day (Stolen)

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the

1930s '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while
they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and
didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright-
colored,lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and
when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention the risks we
took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags,
assuming dad was rich enough to own a car. if not is was the
sidecar.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and NO
ONE actually died from this.

We ate cakes, white bread and real butter, and drank pop with sugar
in it, but we weren't overweight because

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we
were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were okay.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride
down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes! After running
into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendos, X-boxes, no video games at
all, no 99 channels on cable, no video-tape movies, no surround sound,
no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat
rooms.........
WE HAD FRIENDS, and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were
no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live
in us forever.

We were given air guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with
sticks and tennis balls, and although we were told it would happen, we
did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or
rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard
of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk takers, problem
solvers, and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow
up as kids before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives
for our "own" good.
