You left out the part about the EPA HazMat fees that Johnny's dad had to pay when Johnny contaminated the soil with red ant carcasses.

This is sooo true. All this started when parents stopped parenting and decided everything is someone elses fault/resposibility. Now the government is has regulated child rearing and, like everything the government gets involved in, this is the result. [:@]

ORIGINAL: cardboard

1957
- Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands and end up

2007 - Police called, SWAT team arrives, arrests Johnny and Mark. Charge
them with assault, both expelled even though Johnny started it.

Another 2007 conclusion to this scenario which is dramatic, nonetheless, happens way too often.

Mark loses the fight. His gangster friends say "You are not going to let him get away with beating you down like that are you?" as they hand him a handgun, and Johnny loses his life over a fist fight.

Soon after January 2009 (doesn't matter which of the Dem candidates wins):

Schools: Affirmative action revived to place all non-minorities at back of class standings, scholarships, jobs etc. for the next 100 years to correct all past injustices.

Taxes: The 90% tax bracket (from the mid 20th. century is reinstituted to confiscate wealth from successful people to be "used" by feds for the greater good of unsuccessful people.

Religion: Churches and not for profit charities lose their tax exempt status because it is deemed that any religion that causesbelief in anything other than govt. is bad and, spending monies for honorable work can best be decided by govt.

Freedoms: Various parts of the Bill of Rights and Constitution are revoked if they interfere with govts'. needs to control stuff for the greater good.

Bikes with motors: Are you kidding!!!
