Man, I had *all* these toys! (Well, OK, not the radioactive chemistry set. Wonder if I can find one on eBay?)

OK, Mr and Mrs Healthy; how many of you are actually missing digits or eyes from these specific toys? How many people do you *personally* know who are? As I recall, we actually knew this stuff was dangerous, and amazingly enough, our parents both recognized the dangers, and they "got it" that we knew, too. If we behaved dangerously, we were "educated" not to. Gosh, I was even allowed a firearm as a kid. What were we thinking?

My brother nearly chopped my ear off with a stick, yet we still find sticks fully available to children of all ages. Ditto bathtubs, slippery food and dare I say it... stairs--all of which have killed and maimed not dozens but thousands of children. Where should it stop?

I loved my Johnnie Reb cannon (no, not from the South). So did all my friends; dude, bean your little brother from 35' away? How could you resist?
