Elsewhere on the Internets

Look over at the Unforgiving Minute and see the Airsoft poster (steer by Tamara from View from the Porch).

When I was much younger, there was a kid a little younger than I down the street. His mother would not let him play with toy guns. Sure enough, when the kid turned 18, he bought a toy gun. When he turned 21, he started buying real handguns and, when I last heard about him maybe 20 years ago, he had a shitload of guns.

Jewish kids have their first glass of wine at the Passover Seder as soon as they are old enough to hold the glass. French kids, as you might suspect, grow up drinking wine at dinner. It should not come as a shock that the rate of alcoholism among both the French and the Jews is low. Supposedly, if an Arab or a Mormon start drinking, their chances of drifting into alcoholism is close to fifty percent.

If you want to make something desirable to kids, tell them they can't have it or do it. It's far better to expose kids to things and teach them about things that they will eventually have a legal right to do, use or consume.

Actually, Mormons drink more than they let on, they just take pains to make sure other Mormons don't see them do it.
Here in Utah, an there is an old joke about it.

How many Mormons should you take when you go deer hunting?
Two; if you take one, he will drink all of your beer.

bobg, I hadn't heard that joke. But my brother, "the unrepentant heathen", lives out that way, so I'll pass it along to him.
