The Good Ol' Days

I've been racking my brain for the last 3 days thinking of 'what to write now'. It hit me today while browsing the discussions on the WAPF london chapter. The message? 60 Watt bulbs now outlawed. Seriously. I read the first part of the discussion before my mind went to that black abyss your brain always goes to when it's bored in disbelief.

okay so the first part I read was

"Our Government has decided to not ignore EU crazies planning to outlaw tungsten bulbs. Even 60watt and I believe 40watt bulbs are now banned. Stocks are being drawn down and they will be illegal for retail come September"


So my brain in the black abyss, was wondering what happened to the good ol' days?


You know those days where your kids stayed out until 9 at night playing with the neighbours kids? You remember when you roasted your hotdogs on a fire and didn't worry about the nitrates in the weenie? Remember when pop was a treat? Do you remember having a DVD system in the car? The world was filled with real farmers and people who wanted to help others. Family and Friends were one in the same. The judd's were a mother and Daughter singing country band-not daily news because yet another one had prosecuted Loca Lohan. Family dinners. Spraying your hair and not worrying about it killing the polar bears. Le sigh 


I really can't believe how far as a world we've come. I don't always think in a good way. Sure science has brought us some out of this world shit. Sure technologies now allow us to find out what anyone in any part of the world is doing at any moment...but is it all necessary? I'm really starting to worry about the future of my children and what their children might see or not see one day. It's these thoughts that make me want to pack my bags, take my children and head for a remote spot somewhere on this planet. 


We're now banning light bulbs and people are actually worried about the effects and how it might just be another ploy by the government.


Can we just please slow down and rewind?? My brain keeps screaming this is all too much shit!


I can't imagine what 2020 is going to look like or 2050 or God willing 2070. Do you think we're going to get so far ahead we're going to start going backwards?
