Will We Ever Hear A Mother Say Again, “Come Home When The Street Lights Come On”? If We Ever Did, That Unfit Mother Would Certainly Be Arrested.

1st Bit of Foolishness...

Like that GEICO Commercial says. “Congress is confused. ... Everybody Knows That”, below are two pieces of legislation Congress spent time working on that proves this point...

The No Child Left Inside Act of 2011 S.1372 H.R.2547

The No Child Left Outside Act of 2011 H.R.2818

2nd Bit of Foolishness...

What was it Strother Martin said to Cool Hand Luke in Cool Hand Luke?

Ah yes, I remember. He said, “What we have here is a make Work Program”. clip_image002

Here I go confusing you again. I am referring to the growing practice in the Good Ole USofA to hire security guards to accompany our children every time they leave the house.

Don’t knock it. A lot of families depend on these Private Security Guard/Nanny Jobs to support their families.

3rd Bit of Foolishness...

If you are not depressed after reading this sign, you read it too fast. Go back and read it more slowly. If it still does not depress you, you again read it too fast.

The last Bullet Point for a sign like this ought to be, “If you find something fun to do that is not listed on this sign, Don’t Do It!”

4th Bit of Foolishness...

Good News & Bad News

First the Bad News... I could go on forever with examples like this.

Now the Good News... I won’t go on forever.

Remember the Subject of this Blog Posting? I talked about Street Lights & Motherhood & Arresting. In the former Good Ole USofA what you are going to read below falls into the category of, “Progress”.

A Florida mother faces charges of child neglect for allowing her 7-year-old son to walk alone to a neighborhood park to play, authorities said on Wednesday.

&

In a similar case earlier this summer, a South Carolina mother was arrested for allowing her 9-year-old daughter to play alone at a park while she worked.

The above two examples are what’s happening now. In case you forgot, this is what our world was like in the 1950s...
