I just have to wonder, were kids smarter 40 years ago or was the recall 40
years too late? Or both?

40 years ago people would teach their kids not to stick their fingers into
something that is hot.

We learned valuable life lessons. You touch something hot, you get burned.
You get mommy to kiss it better and but a Band-Aid on it. Nowadays people
buy all sorts of toys to give their little angels a world's worth of
stimulation, but hazard free.

A kid gets a little burn from an Easy Bake oven?? Big frigging deal.

Add that to the fact that some people want to do away with keeping
score in grade school sports and allowing every child to pass to the
next grade because a child's self esteem might be damaged if they're
held back and you end up with a nation of pansies. Along with the
lawyers, they need to get rid of social workers, and child
psychologists.

Lawyers are sharper today than 40 years ago.
And juries are softer. That's why the prizes
in Cracker Jack are always stickers or something
these days. No more plastic toys.

Damn. Those plastic toys were the best reason to get cracker jacks. There
was probably more dental damage from hard bits of candy and corn than from
the toys.
