When I first read this (a few years ago when it was being circulated as an email) I laughed and thought "you got that right"! However, after time and consideration, I saw some things in a different light. I agree that we have overkill in oversight, but not all change is bad. It's OK to learn from mistakes and there is nothing wrong with progress. Also, not everyone made it. I have more than one dear friend that would probably still be here with today safety standards in automobiles. I knew some kids that would probably have made it to adulthood in today's society. I know of airplane crashes that are very unlikely to be repeated because of changes in policy and equipment. I can also remember my Grandfather making similar remarks in the 60's about the way we were being "coddled" as children. Change is inevitable, and there is much to embrace.
It's impossible to legislate the stupid out society, folks should take responsibility for themselves and their actions, and we should all learn from mistakes.......and don't underestimate today's intelligent youth.
