And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

I do recall looking back that we had a lot of toys that focused on getting our aggression out in a healthy way. I can see now how critical it was to have that…my grandkids will be receiving toys and items that do just that. They are already raised in a deep and wide firearms/outdoors culture.
Honeymooners sued Hanna-Barbera. Lawyers for H-B said, OK, fine, but you're gonna be known as the folks who killed Fred Flintstone. Network lawyers shat up n sat down. Supposedly.
Anyone remember Flintstones park in Custer, SD?
ReplyDeleteYes! And Dino the Dinosaur is still there today!

ReplyDeleteWeirdness? Are you referring to the gangly young lady or the blow-up doll???
ReplyDeleteIt’s a bopper. You punch it and it rocks back and forth. Then you hit it again. We had a Bozo one. They were moderately popular.
