Changing times was (The Great Dye Experiment)

... I have to ask - were you the kid that stuck his finger in a light socket to see what happens? We certainly learn from your experiments ;-) Been there. Done that. BV. Ever since drugs, gangs invaded schools American schools, and now post Columbine and 9/11, the things that most of us did in our youth, would now most likely get us all expelled or tossed in jail. Zero tolerance rules, expels kids for having an unreported asthma inhalers, girls for giving their friends a midol, and such. I remember as a kid I used to often have a pocket knife in my pocket, or in my backpack. These days one of those on campus would get the sheriff's department. All the pranks that boys have done for generations, like fire crackers in mailboxes, bottle rockets. I've remember making mini rockets out of matchheads, and sugar rockets, these days both would most likely be called bomb paraphernalia. I'm reminded of a time a buddy of mine got called down to the principal's office, because he had gone hunting in the morning before class, and had accidentally left a round on front seat. End result was he got a scolding, that amounted to, "you should know better, put the round away, and tomorrow make sure you don't leave any in the truck" These days completely different story.
