The reason it's not safe to let the kids out to play is that there are no parents out there. Hardly anyone is out there. When I was growing up there was always people in the neighborhood. Gardening, watering, sitting on the porch and watching the world go by. I think I had a childhood that in part was a bit like a Huckleberry Fin or Tom Sawyer adventure. Camping out, going up river in the canoe. I could fish from my back yard. Just wander down to the rivers edge and chuck a line in. We had tree houses and vacant lots we played in. We had our bikes and rode far and wide for adventure and there was plenty to be had I can tell you. Geez, perhaps I was just luckier than most kids.
