OK I came along later but there were all these great places out in the boonies back in the day: Deuback’s Skating Rink, Vickery Park and Pool and even The Western Place.

Daniel, you’re right about the 70’s and the spelling of Steakley, but the Shetland ponies were at the dealership spot in the (gulp) 50’s.

In the 70s, there was a pony park as you describe — no Shetlands, however, as I recall — where the SuperTarget is now, on down the road a mile or so from Steakley Chevrolet.

Years and years. . . no make that, centuries ago before there was NorthPark or even Richardson . . . it was a pony park, where children could ride Shetland ponies around a track. Then the Steakly family turned the property into a Chevvy dealership.

Sean, you’re confused. CPS did not conduct a raid on the compound. Local law enforcement entities did. In a very, very stupid and reprehensible — yes, hysterical — manner. What would you consider the safest, most efficient way to deal with domestic sexual abuse — sending in the National Guard and a half-dozen army tanks?

As for your other cut’n'pastes regarding CPS — I don’t think very highly of CPS, but I think they handled a difficult situation as best as could be expected.

Opinions on the CPS in general, the CPS’s handling of the situation, government as a rubric, and the Deputy Dawgs who played dress-up in their Big Boy Clothes to raid some damn Little House on the Prairie — these do not come bundled and ready to plug in.

I’m sure you have a point to make, but it’s less than clear what it is.

Yeah, I know it’s off topic. But Wick talks about government hysteria http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2008/04/15/yearning-for-zion-raid-another-case-of-government-hysteria/ in the raid on the compound.

Now we learn 31 of the teens are pregnant and one has given birth today. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/POLYGAMIST_RETREAT?SITE=TXSAE&SECTION=US&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

The FLDS says she’s 18. The state says she’s not. The state is probably being hysterical.

Yeah, and what about all the political unrest in Africa? Why isn’t anyone commenting on that?

The only thing that bothers me more than teen pregnancy is driving more than 2.6 miles to get my Chevy serviced.

Boooooooooooo Bankston!
