[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Um, no. It's a FACT that he is more likely to be hurt or killed being driven to school. It's a FACT that stranger abductions are so rare as to be statistically insignificant. [b]It's a FACT that the vast majority of parents wouldn't have thought twice about allowing their child to walk half a block to the bus stop alone a generation ago.[/b] It's a FACT that crime is significantly lower than it was a generation ago. It's a FACT that children are not innately less capable than they were a generation ago.[/quote] People under the age of 40 often disbelieve this fact, and yet it's true. When I say, "When I was 6, I walked a mile to school and back by myself, and my mother was considered over-protective," it's as though I'm telling them something like, "When I was 6, Santa used to take me and the Easter Bunny to school on his sleigh."[/quote]
