I'm 72 and life was just more free at that time. Yes sometimes we did stupid things and got caught and then there were the other times we didn't get caught. A group of us boys all of us were scouts at the time made a dummy with an old pair of blue jeans and a shirt with a stuffed head and we would go out and lay the dummy along the road at night. People would stop and go back and look they would usually laugh it off and then drive on. One night an older couple came by and stopped. They got out of their car and waived down the next car and told them that someone ones hit and needed help. We were in the bushes laughing like crazy and trying to not make any sounds. Pretty soon the cops were there and they started looking for us. We knew the area like the back of our hand and one of our friends lived across the street and a little ways up the road. By the time the cops got to my friends house we were all in his bedroom with the monopoly game all spread out and looking like nothing had ever happened. The never accused us and we finally left there and the dummy was gone. This was up in Wisconsin and the police station at that time had a porch as it was a refurbished farm house. That dummy hung from a hangman's noose on the porch for at least one full summer and maybe it was two. We all got the message.

That was an attempt at satire. I see all your friends joking with you and I was just attempting to do the same.

It's very sad today, you may be afraid to stop for fear it's some set-up. Driving home, inside lanes, on the outskirts of Nashville, heavy traffic. I saw this man laying in the grass beside his car, no one in the outer lanes was stopping - I had my daughter call the state police and report what mile marker we saw him at, as I would have had quite a time, and been way past him to try get over and stop. When I mentioned it to someone, they said it may have been a ploy that it was a good thing we couldn't stop. My - how times have changed.

How true, how very true.

I think it is part of a concerted effort to make boys into substitute girls. Boys need to be toughened up so that they can grow into men who are willing to protect their families and their nation from all who would do them harm.
