    Ah, progress. Even though some of those had changed by the time I was in school (started kindergarten in '85, graduated from college in '02), it seems like for most of the time I was in school the 1973 version of things applied more than the 2006 version. Things have just gotten completely out of hand in the past few years, though it's been coming for a long time...

    Hey I remember paddling! I guess things have changed a lot. Perhaps not always for the better.

    I'm with you there Brother. I can remember in my younger days thinking to myself is the wrist slap that I may get from the authorities if I was caught being mischievious worth the azz beating that I would have to endure from my father for being stupid. The andswer was always a resounding NO!
