MEK - Model Railroader Magazine

I am 75 years old.  I grew up with no seat belts in cars or booster seats. Lead paint in houses everywhere and even lead pipes for the water. Nearly everyone smoked and there was smoke haze from my grandfathers pipe everywhere in the house. Kids got polio and Scarlett fever. If the kid down the street got mumps or measles you went to see him and get exposed to it.  By modern standards none of us should be alive but we are.  I am waiting for the government to ban the one thing that causes death 100% of the time. It is called life.  Be cautious but don't buy the draconian thinking of the idiots running the government regulations. They stay in their jobs by finding new things to ban. If it works it has to be life threatening and I get promoted by yelling fire. As a chemical engineer I have put up with their stupidity for my entire career. My two cents.
