What's next? Tetherball? My brother and I used to whack ours with the croquet mallets.

Yeah, those were the days...pulling down the tether ball poles, grabbing the top, and getting a friend to pop it to standing so you could go flying about 10 feet...cheap catapults...

While I'm indifferent to playgrounds today, I have to confess I've always wanted to jump into a ball-crawl.

Well, you can't play dodgeball anymore in school either. What these pundits do not realize is that for every playground and game they destroy, kids will find something else to do or play. If they take everything away, the kids will get into something. Without organized activities, the kids are on their own and will often get into trouble.

I'll take a "dangerous" playground over kids running the streets or watching the tele anyday.
