Mission, thanks for posting that, we were actually talking about that when my dad was visiting, how things were handled back when I was a kid, and when he was a kid, and how crazy it has become with reactions to things. Now you can't even bring a plastic spork to school without someone going off the deep end 

[ScareyCarrie]

You are welcome - it is a shame how things have changed and because of the changes it takes away the appreciation for some of the simple things in life and I don't no about you but I would love to get back to a simpler time.

Great post, Mission. IMO all of your examples could be true in today's world.  It seems that this country is bent on suicide.  After 9/11 I really thought that our understanding of terrorism and the dangers it presents would be topmost in our government's plans to protect the country.  But instead of facing and diminishing the real danger, we have resorted to silly things which are represented by the examples in your post.  Few even remember that New York was attacked by an enemy whose duty is to kill us all.  IMO it is too horrific for many to remember and confront so we have become infected with a sort of Stockholm syndrome which compels us to nitpick our society and ignore the very real dangers confronting us, which resulted in the terrorist attack at Ft. Hood.

While we could have become strong and courageous after 9/11, we no longer take the threat seriously and consider a child with an aspirin to be more dangerous than a terrorist with a semi-automatic weapon pointing at our collective heads.

We will, unfortunately, reap what we sow.

Very well put Babybear - they say we are fighting a war on terror but what frightens me is where?  Where are we waging war?  I think it is time for this administration to start fighting the war against terrorism right here on our own soil we have become complacent and the big one is coming again - it is just a matter of time.  I don't know when they will realize it is time to seal the borders and take control of how many and who are entering this great country of ours - they don't get it.

You're right, Mission.  They don't get it.  And I fear that the big one coming is a nuclear explosion in one or more of our big cities.  It will be too late then.  As Dr. Hasan said in one of his diatribes, "We love death more than we love life." Don't these PC politicians in Washington understand that not only we, but they will be destroyed as well. It's as if many in positions of authority think that maybe if they pretend or even truly understand and like the enemy, they will go easy on us.  But they won't.  They have no humanity.  They have no mercy.

Thank-you, that is great news 

[Fanny Mae]

Fanny, Please know that I am sorry for insulting you earlier. That was not my intention, at all. I would never do that purposely! And I'm not very good at apologies, so I'll leave it at this. But again, I am sorry, and in the future, I'll refrain from commenting, and sticking my foot in my mouth. 

It was not your fault. No apology is necessary.

Good Morning all and Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you to all who have served our great Country!

I found this article about the 2 week old missing baby from yesterday:

Family: Missing S.C. Infant Found Unharmed In Bag

Posted: 4:54 pm EST November 10, 2009
CONWAY, S.C. -- Authorities say a 2-week-old South Carolina infant missing overnight has been returned unharmed to his mother.

Conway Police spokeswoman Catina Hipp says Sharawn Jerod Chestnut Jr. was found Tuesday afternoon and returned to his mother. The infant was found following a news conference about his disappearance.

Hipp says details will follow.

WMBF-TV reported that family spokeswoman Bernadette Baker says the baby was found in a plastic bag under the seat of a vehicle in a restaurant parking lot. Baker is the infant's great aunt.

Officers were called to the home about midnight. The mother, Criche Nelson, told police she put her 1-year-old daughter and infant son to bed around 11 p.m., and he was missing when she checked on them an hour later.
