IMO, All of these safety precautions are raising a nation of scardy-cats..People who will not take risks to help themselves or others..crybabies.

Children cant ride a bike or skateboard without helmets knee-pads, elbow pads, goggles..geez! Why should a child constantly worry about a skinned knee..or worry about what MAY go wrong..instead of what can go right.

Too much safety...not a good thing.

You know, a lot of people have said that we ought to have a law requiring everyone to serve in the military for a couple of years out of high school. It might cure some of these problems the public schools cause. I know they would still get told all through school that they can't do anything and that those little geckos on the playground might eat you, but it'll all be cured when they report for boot camp and the drill sergeant runs them 3 miles through the woods and then has them shooting stuff with an automatic rifle afterwards. It might turn out to be the first real outdoor fun any of those kids ever have, especially for boys.
