Changing Times
Pitchfork at The Claire Files Forums - this is going around the net now. A graphic lesson in the differences between now and thirty years ago. [clairefiles]
My favorites:
Scenario: Jack pulls into school parking lot with rifle in gun rack.
1973 -- Vice Principal comes over, takes a look at Jack's rifle, goes to his car and gets his to show Jack.
2006 -- School goes into lockdown, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers.
-----
Scenario: Johnny takes apart leftover firecrackers from the 4th of July, puts them in a model airplane paint bottle, blows up a red ant bed.
1973 -- Ants die.
2006 -- BATF, Homeland Security, FBI called. Johnny charged with domestic terrorism, FBI investigates parents, siblings removed from home, computers confiscated, Johnny's Dad goes on a terror watch list and is never allowed to fly again.
