Ahh, I remember those days.
Ack! I am getting old! Okay, at 23, I am probably <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> in a lot of pools with that statement. But it's bad when you start saying that.
Having grown up in the 80's and early nineties, pre-internet, pre-dvd, I can say I remember a lot of those things mentioned. Heck, I remember my parks were iron and concrete. Now they are all padded and rounded and idiot-proof.
It's not that I don't think safety is important. You just have to question the direction everything is headed. Sometimes I wonder, and worry, that one person's vendetta will upset the way of life us American's fought for.
Boy, I miss those days.

Yes, the lost art of tree-forts. I think anyone who never create a tree-fort is seriously lacking in basic fundamental childhoodism. That was the corner stone of many afternoons. Not only in creating the tree-forts, but having them come crashing down.We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits. They were accidents. We learnt not to do the same thing again.
Boy, I miss those days.
