Roger Ebert gives two thumbs down to our culture of doom gloom and fear

its really an interesting read on “Raising free-range kids” so give it a read!

“We believe that all undesirable things can be eliminated by legislation. In England this has gotten so far out of hand that that a 10-year-old boy is forbidden to cross a parking lot, and girls can’t skip rope on public property. In America, have you seen grade school football players recently? They wear more armor than Robocop. It’s safer for them to sit on the sofa and blow people up in video games.”
