The physical examples are easy to understand. I was a daredevil on skates or a bike because I was shorter - less distance to fall. Plus, I was invincible. Duh.
But I also thought I could do things with my life that were almost cruel in retrospect. I wanted to be a CIA agent and I went around boasting about how I could kill someone. No problem. Then I wanted to be a lawyer defending the bad guys. I was a bad ass. I was also a Republican.
Once I got into my teens, I thought more about business and social problems. And one idea I had wasn't half bad - I wanted to start a restaurant where children weren't allowed. No, this is not the topless bar. Just a regular restaurant where children weren't screaming.
After a trip to Houston this past weekend, I think this idea has more legs than I originally planned.
I like kids. From a safe distance. But I don't have one and I think that choice should be enough to keep me from having to deal with them.
With that said, I'd like to propose child-free things:
Baby-Free Flights
No Stroller Shopping at the mall - this could be just one day a week
Grown-up Grocery
Childless Cafes
No Kid Cones - ice cream store
Is what I'm proposing segregation? Is it wrong? Are the lactivists going to attack me?
The answer to all of these is probably yes. But I'm hardcore, right? No problem.
