                               Mayan Freedom

  A practical example of limits to freedom has recently passed across the
  desktop of my life. The phenomena is simply that skateboarding along the
    San Fransisco Embarcadero, north of the Ferry Building, is no longer
  allowed. Every skate along the Embarcadero, whether midday Wednesday or
 Midnight Rolling on Friday, i was overcome with apprehension cruising past
  these kids. The fiercely male adolescent behaviour of jumping over, onto
and into very large concrete and glass structures is not what frightens me.
    Rather, "getting" hurt by flying skateboards striking me down is my
 personal weakness. But i miss these kids now, and when i chance to see one
      --and they are relegated to traveling solo because of these new
 restrictions--i now feel apprehension not for myself anymore, but for the
defeated youth: the disenfranchised and forgotten victors of any battle for
                     freedom that "adults" might wage.
