I think what you've witnessed is some of our bigger 'energy' issues overall: stored energy and wasted energy. While you question if those kids are getting enough exercise, it's pretty clear that most Americans are not, as our waistlines expand and health insurance premiums associated with risk go up. ...and these kids are exhibiting behaviors taught to them: why walk/ride/run when you can drive? They are learning from their parents and neighbors. Simultaneously, their parents are probably complaining about the cost of gasoline and electricity, while needlessly recharging a scooter and electric cart that could easily be driven by leg (scooter) or not driven at all (golf cart). Again, very interesting Blog. I see two problems associated with what you've witnessed. Truly deep and 'random' thoughts.
