Thanks for the link. When you read about all the fun we used to have, it almost hurts to remember how good we had it...bumps, bruises, stitches and all.

I think that George Carlin had a spoken word bit recently (the last decade) about growing up swimming in the Hudson River. He said that he swam in raw sewage as a kid.

He says that everyone washes with the antibacterial soaps and is such a clean freak. They don't build up a natural resistance to germs.

Of course as we become a nannystate, with the shift to the government "paying" for medical expenses and not parents, you can understand why the left wants to cut down on childhood injuries.
