When I was 10, I was riding a bicycle to school 4 miles one way. When I got home, I unlocked the empty house with my own key, took the lunch money my mom had left for me, and rode 12 tramway stops into the inner city to buy lunch at McDonalds.
I'm not saying that's what it should be like, but I loved it, and I enjoyed my autonomy.
What's interesting, is what will the new kids talk about 'back in the days'
"Back in my day I got arrested for going outside my doorstep".
"My parents were taken away by the state to work in the mines and that's how I got put to work in these here mines."
