It a shame because it's the children who are ultimately the sufferers not being able to have any freedom because of the way the world has become.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524989873664135095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-10156287647195009672007-06-09T14:02:00.000+01:002007-06-09T14:02:00.000+01:00Hi Naomi!

When I was younger and didn't have a horse, we got to roam the desert looking for horned toads, lizards and rose agate!<BR/>Of course we had check in times and curfews, but we had time to be kids.

I lived in a small town and it was nothing to disappear for hours on end, showing up at suppertime. I rode my bike everywhere, had a creek to play around in, and plenty of woods to explore. I'm sorry our kids can't have the same kind of childhood.Granimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817049239648631098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692666.post-33886258110301856102007-06-08T14:10:00.000+01:002007-06-08T14:10:00.000+01:00I remember the happy days I spent riding my bike w...I remember the happy days I spent riding my bike wherever I wanted as a child. Now children cannot even be allowed off the property without supervision. Sad world we live in.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400551733221594392noreply@blogger.com
