Let kids walk home?

[seasidemike]

I don't know, I spent my whole life as a kid walking to and from school, riding my bike everywhere.. how did it is happen that within one generation we have become so paranoid about everything?
Our wholes lives seem to be regulated now. It is amazing how people are afraid to let their kids go out, so to entertain them they give them laptops and wifi and let the whole world into their bedrooms.

Then scratch their heads in wonderment over why their kids can't survive in the real world as adults.....yep, it's a mystery

In life, every day you take a risk of dying. To make a point of attempting to remove all risk of death is futile as we all will die anyway no matter how paranoid you attempt to be on the issue of safety. It doesn't mean don't try to be safe but realize that if you want to live will require taking on risk. The same risk you take when you get into a car or on a plane and plenty do such and are well and then there are others that do those things and don't fare as well.

The reason why we are so paranoid now is that we are able to see the world for what it ALWAYS was and it's only now that we become capable of seeing things on a level that we could only dream of doing. We aren't used to seeing the world we are living in as well as we do now hence all the fear and paranoia. Some realize this and keep on going and others let the fear paralyze them which ensures they reduce their lives down to merely existing which might as well mean dead.
