A world gone mad

The One That's Not About Music

Published: November 19, 2006

So I just went out to get the paper(s) and found some balloons from a neighborhood party had drifted into our yard.

No biggie, but when I went to pick them up I saw that each one had printed on it in large black letters a long warning and disclaimer about being a choking hazard.

Any child too dumb to play with a balloon is either too young or too dumb to read the warning. Ditto for their parents.

In my day, we had toys like the Mainway Sack o' Glass. And we survived. Uncle Darwin can tell you why.

I feel myself slowly turning into the world's youngest curmudgeon.

Well Mr. Orren, if it were for this new warning label market I am sure the print industry would already be bankrupted by new media zen masters and all round cool guys like you.
