The UK's swing sets on its play grounds are too high, The EU will address this international matter immediately and with swift action!!!
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=30597 You would think that there would be some more weighty matters to discuss.... |

Man, I hate the fun police almost as much as I hate the thought police. Actually, come to think of it, I really dislike most all police, except The Police, of course.
Besides, what fun are swing sets if you can't swing 10 feet in the air and then jump out - it's the closest I got to flying for my first decade of life. On a serious note: Hayek, Crack in the Egg. 'nuff said. [ 01-22-2003, 01:41 PM: Message edited by: Timber Loftis ] |

Do you remember those old Charlie Brown cartoon holiday specials? Remember the sound that all the teachers and adults made whenever they spoke?
That's the sound i heard when i read the last sentence of your post. |

Hayek's "Crack in the Egg" is the theory that once you let government exercise one whim, you have begun a path to the inevitable loss of freedom.

or: Hasn't government been excercising whims since their has been government? I think it's pretty bogus the article. Totally moronic actually. I agree with you about flying up on swings and jumping off them i've jumped off more swings in my day flying through the air an all that.. great fun.. I used to pretend i was Billy Bishop strafing an airfield as i came down.. then had to eject as i was shot down by the Red Baron.. also mastered the backflip out of them.. a friend broke an arm in elementary school flying out of them.. late seventies or 1980 abouts.. their was no hubbub about it then and shouldnt be now.. stupid really.. I just thought the last sentence up their was .. eh.. .. yeh.. Edit> im being overly sensitive.. sorry.. [ 01-22-2003, 02:21 PM: Message edited by: Djinn Raffo ] |
