Life in America has changed because WE let it change......... Paul if you choose to not give a ride I under stand that, but we all make our own choices.... I carry insurance, and I am licensed to be alone with children.... go figure... a license to be with children... When did that happen....I figure it happened right after pedophiles got rights... In the old days the "village" handled the problem... I remember an old guy that touched my cousin.. The next day Grandpa and a few of the "guys" had a talk with him. He moved that day... Funny how anything "PC", takes away MY rights.....
