Hell, I had a principal who smoked in our elementary school. He used to smoke in his office, in the hallways, and in our classrooms. That wouldn't be allowed today. I say all of this to say that life hasn't gotten more dangerous and childhood is not in danger.

Thank ya!
Have you ever heard about any correlation between the rise of child safety advocacy and the rise in assisted reproductive technology? I've heard a few people talk about it--because people are having kids when they get older and, in many cases, it takes a lot more to have a kid, people are much more protective than they were a few generations before, when it wasn't a big deal to have a kid?
