:iagree:
Although I was in the 40's I have to agree. Best times of growing up. Just enough technology to look forward to.
We also had steam locomotives, horse powered carts for dairy, bakeries and ice deliveries.( Canada).

BOSTON - National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily."
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government's plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington's town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units.
Colonel Smith, finding his forces overmatched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as "ringleaders" of the extremist faction, remain at large.

We rolled up our blue jeans so the legs would fit and made pea shooters out of two clothes pins. My 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer still has the wing windows.

Oops...sorry guys, I was just trying to fit in your age group :rofl:

[DukeAllen]

But seriously...I remember when childhood wasn't governed by PC rules. No nanny state. You could eat a PB&J sammich in school, no annoying helmet just to ride bikes in front of your house, if you got into a fight you weren't arrested as a terrorist, the bad guys went to jail and didn't sue the good ones who defended themselves, and the kids that did drugs, fought in gangs or dropped out because they got pregnant were the exception and looked down on, not something that the we got constantly shoved down the throat by the media as something cool, or at least acceptable.

Yes, and how about plastic on couches and chairs in your living rooms:seasix:

We called them "No Drafts" Actually a very functional window.:cert:

and during the winter, Dad swapped out the 6 volt for an 8 volt to give it a little more zip to start. Now i bet you can't even buy an 8 volt battery!

Did any of you make these pea/corn shooters when you younger? I "nailed" a lot of girls with these in the old one-roomed country school! Added a small nail through the top to hold them together and sometimes wrapped extra wire around it to increase the holding pressure.

Moons were so cool!

Spinners always seemed pathetic..

Cragar mags with the gray rough centers were the best!

Fender skirts and dual slanted antennas on the rear fenders. Not to mention lowered rear ends. But the maverick in the crowd was the guy who lowered his front end of his 52 Chevrolet! I remember one guy who added the dual slanted antennas on the rear fenders, but still had the single upright mast on the front right fender. So uncool!!! But the white fuzzy stuff around the inside rear view mirrors and sun visors had to be the coolest!

I wanted my parents to get a wagon so bad...just to get the tail gunner seat. They never did. By the time my dad finally bought a wagon it was an Escort and I was grown.

Wrong color! All we could get back then was black. And it had that little silver button upper right of the dial that was the party line button. You could lift the receiver and listen in without the others on the party line knowing you were there, then push the button and break into their conversation. We had "conference calling" back in those days and didn't know it.
