On Saturdays, we’d make a sandwich, grab our .22 rifles, and ride our bikes down to the Mississippi River. Spend all day plinking, and make it home for supper. No one got their eye put out.

Beanie-weenie. Creamed chipped beef. Baloney wheels. And LOTS of oatmeal and potatoes.

What you have there is a Cogitation Desert. These are found in many public schools and elite universities.

Did any of you have any fun playing as kids without aquatic centers and hockey fields?

Certainly... the only actual playground I can recall was the one at school. At home we all played in the yard/street and just made do with whatever was around. I recall spending weeks working on a space capsule we made from a big cardboard box.

Trouble with community organizers, they organize nothing. Well maybe protests and such, but nothing constructive. Nobama was an organizer in a ghetto, I see nothing constructive he did.

All of the “problem areas” are DemonRat controlled Utopias, just like with crime and violence.

I was so lucky when I was a kid we had access to all the refrigerator boxes we could haul away.

They were turned into forts, space ships, tanks...

"Clinton says Trump is not 'qualified' to be president"

Are there no Hall-of-Fame athletes that grew up in impoverished neighborhoods?

We found some wooden pallets somewhere and dragged them home and built an awesome fort one summer.

My sister, the artist, went through a spell when she was making dummies... clothes stuffed with rolled up newspaper. We could hang those out the window and get passers-by to look and react. One time we rolled one off a neighbor's detached garage roof scaring the heck out of their maid... we got into major trouble with our parents on that one.
