oh no, kids are definitely given the incentive to explore... each other
ugh
It's sad. We always wanted to know what was over the next hill, around the next bend in the creek, and were encouraged to go find out. We had our 'fat' kids, but even they were in good enough shape to keep up, and most were well within an acceptable body weight.
Of my 'peer' group, there arose a USMC Sgt Maj, a Navy SEAL, a Geologist, a Construction company owner, a farmer, and others who were equally successful in life. We had too much on the ball to be distracted by drugs, even though they were out there. Some of us even drank for a while and gave it up--jut no satisfaction in that.
No hippies, no queers, no Liberals, and we did it with a fraction of the rules we have today. Imagine that.
