And that's exactly why our LBC hobby is going to die away, IMO, people don't
feel "safe" without 3 tons of steel cocoon wrapped around them. Americans
in particular seem convinced that they can live forever if they're just
"safe" ...
It's truly amazing that we all made it to adulthood. I was an adult before
I owned a car with a padded dash and seat belts. I don't think my parents
ever worried about it.

_This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this
seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature
for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men,
this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it
in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy
of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this
England._ (http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/25255.html) _ William
