It's pretty sad when kids can't go out to play unsupervised. When I was a kid, there were unsupervised kids all over the neighborhood, playing softball, riding bikes, building forts, up in a tree house. I never see kids out on the streets today. They're either at supervised activities or at home watching TV or on the computer -- and people wonder why they're so fat and out of shape?

Same here. And, it wasn't all that long ago....
