Your idea wouldn’t be so bad if the fat bureaucrats who take all the dough were walking too? Or how bout the good old days when you could walk to school somewhat safely without porn-fueled middle aged men looking to score with a kid?

Yep. My kids wouldn’t walk to school like I did, never.

I walked through a patch of woods to get to the road to walk to school. At 9, I was in charge of four or five of the younger ones in the complex and delivered them to their doors.

Not that we didn’t have serial killers back then, but it certainly wasn’t like what it is today. And people actually got involved when they saw someone struggling with a child. Quizzed them at least. Once my daughter was pitching a tantrum in a store and I carried her out kicking and screaming. It ran through my mind, why isn’t anyone stopping me?
