Snowballs

snowballs are nothing. should have been there for this one. 

Years ago, I had a cup of soda spill on my major rebuilt modified Stereo 70.  Almost cried.  But I had it all apart before.  Took it down to parade rest again.

I remember a friend telling me a kid threw an near empty coke can out a car window and knocked him off his road bike. The kid thought it was funny. My friend is 6'-3". But a bike traveling at 25 mph sees a denser object than a static piece of hollow aluminum. I'm sure a snowball would have been just as effective.

Forget the dangerously situation that represents on the road for a minute and think about the mindset that thinks this behavior is OK. 

Nowadays adults act like children once did. Sports fans are sometimes the worst. The whole mob mentality is awful. I played football in high school and remember how cultish team politics can be. It really turned me off to a sport that I truly loved. 

Where are the adults?

Went to the UK in 2016. There were cameras everywhere. Public trash cans were simple hoops supported by a pole with clear trash bags so you could see what someone put in them (bombs). This was even seen in the suburbs. All because: people behave a lot differently today.

It's gonna happen here too, eventually. Keep throwing those snowballs and see where we end in a few years. And then the same people will riot over lack of freedoms.
