Safe

I'm watching the debate on how much arsenic is in apple and grape juice and Dr. Oz says we have to do everything we can to make the world safe for our children.
My feeling is let kids fend for themselves. We spend so much time and effort insuring a safe environment for tots we have no time to pursue our own interests, like hiking and gourmet cooking and start up businesses. As a result we, the adults, are secretly miserable and resentful. We feed and house these kids, buy them gifts, give them advice, look the other way when they screw up. Now we're supposed to safety proof everything, which includes spending hours reading up on all these reports informing us of dangerous foods and drinks and toys and playgrounds and Internet sites. When do we get to have sex? Or watch football? Enough with this sacrificing.
Anyone with eyes can see the problem is the opposite-kids need to start making things safer for adults. Roller skates, skate boards, scooters, bikes, wayward baseballs, Frisbees, children suddenly changing direction and careening into elders, BB guns, Silly Putty, projectile vomiting, loud shouting, whistling, honking, crazy driving, vile language, clumsy, overweight teens falling on the rest of us--this is the real problem.
Let them drink all the damn arsenic they want. Experience danger like I did as a kid. Just stay away with those mini bikes. Make the world safe for me, hooligans.
