Wow.
I think I did the entire list.
Where I grew up in Maryland, we use to go down to the woods and catch frogs, turtles, and such. At the age of 6, 7, and up, you learned quickly the difference between a poisonous and nonpoisonous snake, snappers, poison ivy/oak, things like that.
If growing up this way was so good; how come we have destroyed the country?
Fireworks are not mentioned.
Cutting shotgun shells to get the powder out for fun projects isn’t mentioned.
Calcium carbide cannons not mentioned.

I could go on, and on and on.
