thats crazy, back in the day kids used to break them open on purpose and play with the mercury, it was like silly puddy to them, just a sign of the times,
I was thinking about how much better Boy Scouts were back in the day too, we used to go repelling, 4 wheeling, shooting, archery, mountain climbing, river rafting, Now they don't do any of that, they tie knots, look at plants, and go on recycling expeditions, because its TOO DANGEROUS, what the hell is the world coming too! "mom please flush it all away"
My troop still does. I got my eagle in 2004. Even to this day women aren't even allowed to go camping with the boys. Atleast in our town it's still a balls to the wall, hell we even have one campout a year just for the boys and adults to compete in archery and shotgun. I guess It all depends where you live. I'm still technically in redneck territory I guess that's why.
