     @georgetakei When I was growing up, a beekeeper in my grandmother's neighborhood had built really cool play equipment in his yard, and encouraged neighborhood kids (and parents) to use it.
     Until some kid got hurt, sued him, and he had to shut it all down, lost a lot of money and it probably devastated him, just because he built a playground.

     @georgetakei Of course there’s the legal liability problem, but more importantly is the fact that today’s parenting is failing to teach children respect for others and social decency. We used to respect elders. Many of today’s kids just give us the finger. 😤
