Oh so True!
For Boomers and Before Boomers:
My mom use to cut chicken, chop eggs, and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife, and no bleach, but we didnt seem to get food poisoning.
We all took gym, not PE....and risked perminent injury with a high top Ked's ( only woren in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.
Flunking gym was not an option.....even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.
I thought I was suppose to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.
We played king of the hill on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48 cent bottle of MERCUROCHROME ( kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did ) and then we got our behind spanked.( child abuse) NOW it's a big trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10 day-dose of a $ 49 bottle of antibotics and then mom calls an attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horrible vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat!.
We were obiviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasen't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive?
