Roy Rogers - Normal Kids Playing 1950s - Today a SWAT team

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address

Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

That Roy Rogers commercial really takes me back!

In the 1950s my kids had cowboy guns that fired a roll of caps. The kids all have coonskin caps from watching Disney's Davy Crockett. I lived in Southern California then and every Saturday morning the TV was full of old westerns from the 1930s and 1940s. And then came Hoola Hoops and Barbie dolls.

Life was so much simpler then.

Re: Roy Rogers - Normal Kids Playing 1950s - Today a SWAT team
As an American...we've been at war my whole life.

Children today, know nothing but war. Their fathers, brothers, and even their moms are paid by the Government to go to WAR, but kids can't mimic war.

My brothers had cap guns, bb guns, pocket knives etc., but today, our young boys can't even 'pretend' to have a gun.

Parents need to take control and tell the Government to stay out of their lives!!!!!

I don't have kids, but I have nephews and I've bought them cap guns and they love to pretend that they're kiling zombies? Zombies? What the hell is a zombie? A video game? My point is, they have fun.

Too much self-reliance if you have guns and can defend yourself. People might learn to trust their fellow man or woman to be judicious in the use of force.

Instead it's much better to "if you see something, say something" and suck at the teat of the government.

My brother and I had Daisy Air Rifles, cap guns, holsters, the works. The Daisy air rifle was the best. You could stick the barrel into dirt and shoot dirt at each other. Good times.

IF that was sold today, We'd have legislation banning any device designed for firing a firearm as per statute 18 USC § 921 3-9from any headwear, not including traditional headgear such as Burkas, Turbans, or any other covering that may implicate muslims.

and it would be 1200 pages long.

 Quoting: Old Coot

Remember when................


Close your eyes.....And go back in time....


Before the Internet or the MAC, Before semi-automatics.
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...


Way back.....

Hide and seek at dusk. The Good Humor man,
Red light, green light. The corner store.
Hopscotch, butterscotch, double Dutch, jacks,
kickball, dodge ball. Mother May I?
Red Rover and Roly Poly.
Hula Hoops.
Running through the sprinkler.
The smell of the sun and licking salty lips.
Wax lips and mustaches.
An ice cream cone on a warm summer night,
Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe
butter pecan.
A cherry coke from the fountain at the corner
drug store.



Remember when...

Watching Saturday Morning cartoons... short commercials
Davy Crockett, Hopalong Cassidy, Junior Frolics,
The Three Stooges, and Bugs, or staying up for Gunsmoke



Or back further,

Listening to Superman or The Lone Ranger on the radio.
When around the corner seemed far away,
and going downtown seemed like going somewhere.
A million mosquito bites. Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers,
Cowboys and Indians, Zorro. Climbing trees, Building
igloos out of snow banks.


Walking to school, no matter what the weather.

Running till you were out of breath .
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt.
Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights.
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down
was cause for giggles.
Being tired from playing.... Remember that?

The worst embarrassment was being picked last
for a team.

War was a card game.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.

Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any
bike into a motorcycle.

Eating Kool-aid powder.



Remember when...

There were two types of sneakers for girls and
boys (Keds & PF Flyers)and the only time you
wore them at school, was for "gym."

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best"
friends.

When nobody owned a purebred dog.

When a quarter was a decent allowance, and
another quarter a miracle.
When milk went up one cent and everyone talked
about it for weeks? When you'd reach into a
muddy gutter for a penny.


When you got your windshield cleaned, oil
checked, and gas pumped, without asking, for
free, every time. And, you didn't pay for air.
And, you got trading stamps to boot!

Remember when..

When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes
or towels hidden inside the box. When nearly
everyone's mom was at home when the kids got
there. When it took five minutes for the TV to
warm up, if you even had one. When your Mom wore
nylons that came in two pieces.

It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.

When it was considered a great privilege to be
taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with
your parents.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late
high school, if then.
When all of your male teachers wore neckties and
female teachers had their hair done.
When they threatened to keep kids back a grade
if they failed ..and did! When being sent to the
principal's office was nothing compared to the
fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it
wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs,
gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a
much bigger threat! and some of us are still
afraid of them!!! Didn't that feel good.. just
to go back and say,

Yeah, I remember that!

Decisions were made by going
"eeny-meeny-miney-mo." Mistakes were corrected
by simply exclaiming, "do over!" "Race issue"
meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Remember when...

Money issues were handled by whoever was the
banker in "Monopoly." The worst thing you could
catch from the opposite sex was cooties. It was
unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic
event. Having a weapon in school, meant being
caught with a slingshot.


Nobody was prettier than Mom.

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable
aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food
group. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come
true. Abilities were discovered because of a
"double-dare."


Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but
also the fiercest protectors.

If you can remember most or all of these, then
you have LIVED!!!!

There are toy guns at the walgreens near me. No idea why, it's not like kids can even fucking play with them anymore.

I remember I had this toy replica army rifle as a kid. It had an orange cap on the tip of the barrel. No one gave a shit that I busted it off.

Imagine the conniption fits today's liberal media and school system would contort themselves into if they saw a kid playing with toys like this.
