Things you HOPE your children never have to experience.

I don't have kids, but if I did, I can see myself trying to describe to my kids all the freedoms, societal norms and the enjoyment of life that were so much more prevalent then than they are now.

 

Imagine, we're continually regressing by removing the rights and privileges of specific population groups (women, minorities, senior citizens, etc.), government spying on your and your neighbors, union busting, sending your job overseas... in short, I'm glad I don't have the kids that will have to try to grow up and live as part of such a restricted, over-governed, zero-tolerance, unaccepting society.

I was thinking of seeing the twin towers come down.  Yes I know that wouldn't happen again, but I hope that my kids (maybe one day) don't have to experience something like that.

 

Also a flood like I went through with hurricane Floyd.

But what they do have to experience is growing up in the post-9/11 world of the Patriot Act, phone tapping, internet spying, airport searches, law enforcement authority unlike anything us older folks grew up with, protracted wars overseas for no apparent reason...

yeah this is a tough one. my 2 girls are 13 and 11 and even hurtful things at school or with each other pains me. they recently lost their grand dad(wifes dad) and while the older responded the way i thought i wasn't sure how my younger one would. she is a brilliant kid and is a few grade levels of where she is but i could tell it didn't register the way it did with her sister.

 

as a dad you want to protect and its hard to know there are times i have to flat out let them fall down to learn what they have to. that junk is not easy to do.

      Legette. Wrist surgery?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
