Congratulations to all the kids born in the 1940's 50's 60's and 70's

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 tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after the trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured 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.

Riding in the back of a van -loose- was always great fun.

We drank from garden hosepipes and not from a bottle.

We shared one 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 playing outside.

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

No one was able to reach us all day, and we were ok.

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

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, 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 cuts, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us for ever. Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke our eyes out.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them.

Local teams had try outs and not everyone made the team.

Those who didn't had to learn to deal with the disappointment. Imagine that!

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 Government regulated our lives for our own good.

And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were. How much more political correctness, take no blame society, misplaced charity and one sided tolerance can WE put up with before we finally sort things out!!!

im off to town now my power washer blew up and i need to get it exchanged oran decided that the front door and living room windows would look nice decorrated with big dollops of mud, and wouldnt you know when you need something desperatly it dosent work.
