After reading this entire thread, it's clear nobody cares about the global warming factor. Who cares if you did two a days 25 years ago. Obviously we live in a different world today.

Yes we do live in a different world. Not because it's hotter, because we have ac in our homes in our cars and most at our jobs even in our gyms and shops we have ac. Kids play games on the computer and watch tv inside and instead of playing pick up games on the street or in someone's yard they go to the air-conditioned gym there parents pay for them to be able to go to and being outside working in the summer time? Yeah right, what respectful parents would have their kids outside mowing the lawn in this heat? They pay someone to do their kids chores so they won't get hot. It's all our fault our kids are passing out from heat exhaustion. They aren't used to it! Cut their cords, quit paying for fancy gyms and for other people to do their outside chores. Give them a basketball goal in the driveway, 10 minutes to call their friends to come play, put them outside and tell them they can't come in till dark. Oh yeah and the yard better be mowed weedeated and edged before your friends get here. I bet we have less heat strokes! When they holler that they are thirsty point em to the hose pipe! Not the Fiji water your probably drinking. Yeah I enjoy my ac and Fiji water with the rest of you guys but we earned it they should too. JMO
