Federal Government To Ban Drop-Side Cribs And Many Others

[Obama 2012 1,714]

When we were kids...

we ate paint with lead in it, played with mercury from broken thermometers, stood on the front seat of the car (but mom had her arm around us), ran with scissors, slept on our stomachs in drop side cribs, took guns to school, didn't have seat belts in the car...OMG how did anyone survive?

it was magical!

then liberals happened. The magic went away!

I didn't run with scissors, or eat paint of any kind. Or any of that stuff. Hmmm. Must have been the really old days.

Well... I think you have to look at the person saying that they did those things to get an idea of whether it did them any harm

This isn't a one person society. The loss of one or two people; even Children, is not the end of the world.

I hope you have the same attitude when it happens to you.

I hope it stays that way.

I ate paste. Does that count?

I loved eating dirt.

I liked to swallow the dumplings in Campbell's Chicken and Dumplings soup down whole. Actually, I had a game where I'd alternate chewing and swallowing. Incipient OCD at 5, I guess.

I blew black pepper in my younger brother's face, thinking he'd just have a sneezing fit. Boy, was I wrong.

Yeah - that wouldn't be good.

You think that liberalism is a 20th century phenoma? Of course, if you mean Liberalism, well, even that's not new. Did you study any form of history Paul?

Yeah, infant mortality rates haven't changed at all in the last 200 years - and in the interests of survival of libetarians, perhaps reducing infant mortality, childhood disease and child labour was just a bad 'librul' move?
