I can remember going outside and roaming the woods from sunup to sundown in the summer. Kids can't do that anymore.

All we had to do was be home before the streetlights were fully on...of course, most Moms didn't work then so there were eyes and ears on us, even when we didn't know it. You are right...can't let kids roam like that now. Pity. When did it all go wrong...

I don't know except perhaps when we 1. started releasing mentally ill institutionalized people out onto the streets out of "compassion" 2. Lowered the years of incarceration for sexual predators, murderers and other crinimal offenders 3. gave more freedom for perversity through the explosion of internet porn 4. became so politically correct that we can't tell certain segments of our population they are wrong in he behaviors and goals and attitudes and actions 5. stopped having cops walk beats instead of driving in nice new Lincoln Town cars all day 6.stopped training children young not to indulge every impulse that comes into their fist or gonads 7. gave our souls ever increasingly to pleasures and titlations and away from godliness.... perhaps.
