People over 35 should be dead. Here's why...

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's and early 70's probably should not have survived!

• Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.
• When we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.
• As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
• We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
• We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never 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 street lights came on.
• We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt.
• Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. We had to learn to deal with disappointment.
• The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of... they actually sided with the law.
• We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones, and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
• Nobody was able to reach us all day - no cell phones... unthinkable!
