To the Editor:
The year was 1910 - (100 years ago).
The average wage was 22 cents an hour. Only eight per cent of homes had a telephone. More than 95 per cent of people were born at home. Only 14 per cent of homes had a bath tub. Ninety per cent of all doctors had no college education. The average life expectancy was 47 years. The average worker made between 200 and 400 dollars a year. One out of five adults couldn't read or write. Everyone wanted a 1910 Ford. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 M.P.H. Car fuel was sold only in drugs stores. and there was a loud out cry by a minority that getting rid of the horse transportation was the worst environmental disaster the world had ever seen!?
Everything has changed in 100 years, except the environmentalists. They still travel the world at our expense (taxes) to tell us that we are bad!!?
What a bunch of horse crapping!?
