And then these morons wonder why there's an obesity problem with children. They can't play anymore, all that's left for them is either computer games or TV. Yeah, kids got hurt, so what, that was part of growing up. If you didn't have scabs on your knees and elbows there was something wrong with you.

I heard the other day they were thinking about re-introducing PE to schools, I didn't realize they had stopped. Can't we throw out all these NEA idiots and get our country back to normal?

There really is no excuse. It is labor intensive, but a fence will solve any problems a parent who doesn't want to supervise her children may have. It's a great way to let littler ones have at it without mom hovering all the time. We just put one up and my 5 and 3 year old spend hours out there in the sandbox or in the pool or just running around!
It's just easier, I guess, to just plop down 30 bucks for a video game and put the kid in front of it. I wouldn't want my kids to miss out on catching fireflies or dreaming up what cloud formations look like that day or splashing heartily in a kiddie pool. My parents kept us in way too much and I hated it!
Putting up a fence did eat in our budget a some and it was HARD work, but it is so worth it for EVERYONE, especially the kiddos.
