"And seriously, the more they try to protect kids from themselves, the more we raise a generation of incapable, incompetent imbeciles who are afraid to do anything because they might get a bruise or a scratch."

Agreed. And this is coming from a person whose childhood adventures include building a fort out of sheet metal, walking barefoot across the chemically-contaminated industrial site we lived next to (strange, nothing was growing there... ), and climbing at least a quarter of the way up a TV tower. Oh, and trees!

And what do you know, I've turned out to be a pretty cautious person as an adult... Except for certain little bad habits, like staying in cheap hostels in foreign countries and eating street food in Mexico. Which was delicious.
