I suppose I couldn't have really expected intellectual, well-thought out and well-reasoned conversation from this group. I should have known better.



YOU RANG???!!!

Look FJ, I don't know what's got you so "introspective"[read: maudlin] today, but I know what you're sayin' here, dude.

I sometimes think as you do and wonder how people with small children can throw a leg over these machines without a seeming concern to what the consequences could be.

AND THEN....I saw the light!

(no...I DIDN'T go all religious or anything)

I realized that: People are going to do WHAT they're going to do! Soooooo...relax, sit back and hope people with kids are just a little more aware of their mortality than us "old farts" think they are, and that they don't "ride over their heads" and/or put themselves into any more needless danger(LIKE RIDING WITHOUT A FRIGGIN' HELMET), than they already put themselves(and by proxy, their family in) by riding these beautiful contraptions.

Ya know...Life is but a game of percentages. And the smarter players AT LEAST play at the tables that DON'T EXCEEDINGLY favor the House.

Cheers,
Dwight
(HEY! How's about that last line o' mine here?!...pretty good, huh?!..."intellectual" enough for ya, dude?!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
