I was just reading a comments thread on some blog where an old bastard of 44, who seemed 64, was in typical old bastard fashion pontificating about how the world was better when he was a kid.

It did get me thinking, when I was a kid every other week a friend or classmate would show up in a cast of some sort - usually a broken arm or collar bone, the odd broken leg or worse thrown in. Are kids these days so over or well protected or sedentary that there are less kids breaking bones?

We've traded in the broken arm of childhood for ADD and other quasi neuropsych disorders like autism/aspergers?
