THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!

That is if the truth is the truth. It might be another truth. Who knows?

But the truth be told, the World is changing, some of the icons of childhood are quickly disappearing. Howdy Doody is retired, the Lone Ranger and Tonto split, and Hop-a-long Cassidy limps. (Yup, Limp-a-long Cassidy.)

You no longer see little girls playing jump rope, or little boys playing catch, the streets are deserted and barren of any child-like activities that so frequented life as I grew up.

Now the World has become so over sensitized by political correctness that it has hit corporate America and in particular Nabisco and their Barnum Animal crackers that once came on a box, a box that excited a child when he saw it because it resembled a circus wagon with the animals in the show.

The circus came to town, a parade of wagons, gaily decorated and as they passed you and entered town, the excitement of the circus was in those wonderful wagons.  There are no circuses anymore, animal cruelty is cited, and to make matters worse, no excitement for children, no reason to be a child as an adult once again. But our sensitivity has taken a new victim, a new turn, the cracker box! They have freed the animals from the circus wagons, and now roam free on the face of the box!

It’s a good thing that the killed the circus, just imagine the circus coming to town, no cages on wheels, how would they ever get in, driving cars?
