We have very little crime here. Yet they don't. What's with this? I mean, there's no reason why kids couldn't run or bicycle all over this neighborhood, I've been out at all hours of day and night and there's nothing happening, no crime, no drugs, no nothing, yet they don't. When did we turn into a nation of cowards? When did normal childhood risk-taking become forbidden fruit? And does this explain the generation of cowards who lead our nation into the abyss -- denied risk as children, now they risk the entire nation to prove their manhood? - Badtux the Observant Penguin I live in a major metropolitan area, 10th largest in the United States, and it’s perfectly safe for children to roam and run.
