When I was a kid, we could buy black powder and dynamite fuse over the counter at the hardware store in town. We’d blow all kinds of stuff up. We never injured anyone, or caused any serious damage except to old tree stumps, and no one seemed to care that we were playing with explosives. If we did that today, there would be news and police choppers in the air, and heavily armed federal agents with ATFE on their jackets running around, not to mention my crew and I paraded in front of the cameras in orange jumpsuits and shackles. Now a kid can get locked up for not wearing a mask. A lot of older people wish they were young again. Not me. I wouldn’t be young now for all the Parmesan cheese in Hunter Biden’s carpet.
