Or another one called apple beer? And why both were almost not around anymore? One is gone but the other is still here. How about the recent possible FCC fine for a football ad? And yet the viagra et. Al. Ads still flood the airwaves. As for stern and others corrupting me, I think my childhood took care of that. Playgrounds without safety toys, fighting in the streets, Motorcycles with no license, bicycles down ore dumps, skateboards down city hills, bandit CB rigs, drinking the evil 'dew', and the even eviler 'apple', a pfeiffers or two for lunch on summer jobs, building street rods, rockets with warheads, and other fun stuff. In todays world think how many times you could send a kid to jail for just the above list. Note I stated jail with todays rules. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
