I have bad news for some of you: life is full of risk, and nothing you or the government can do about it can remove all of that risk. This goes double for kids. You can wrap them up in a blanket and stuff them in a barrel or anything you want, but each and every choice, and every action you take has some element of risk. For every action there is a potential reaction you are not going to like. Live with it.

Either you use the brains God gave you, or you let the nanny state "take care of you". They want you to think they can. You can't have it both ways.
