I remember all the stuff everyone has mentioned. The tall diving board with two small ones on each side was quite a challenge. Just climbing up the ladder the first time was scary and then getting up there and looking down (it looked a lot higher from up there then it did on the ground) knowing that only sissies climbed back down so you had to get up the nerve to to make the plunge.
I would not want my kid to do half the things I did untill I think about it and say go ahead because I remember when I ws a kid and did it.
Someone mentioned on another post like this one about how the generations of people like became the greatest risk takers and produced some of the most amazing things the world has ever seen.
It looks like its all over now and the world will become a one world everything. Socialism, the third way , whatever they want to call it but the freedom we had as kids to do what we wanted made us a different breed and chances are society is all downhill from here on out.
Many people blame the baby boomers for the demise but its the fault of the lawyers, the judges and gov.org. Common sense has disappeared and the nanny state has taken over. It will be very hard if not impossible to take america back to what it once was.

If people looked out for others, family, friends, people in there neighborhoods and there communities like FREEPERS seem to do on this conservative Internet Chat Site, we might be able to have a society all of us once remembered in reference to this Topic.
