When I was a kid, between 3:30 and dinner, we were on our own - never had a problem. Things have changed.

A lot of what has changed is the 24/7/365 fearmongering by the MSM.

I have to agree with you. Kids on our street play without an adult outside. Young teens walk to the store or the park and go to movies without an adult. Heck, I even go to the mall and walk around my neighborhood unarmed.

You beat me to it.

...one of the worst things about civilization is, that anybody that gits a letter with trouble in it comes and tells you all about it and makes you feel bad, and the newspapers fetches you the troubles of everybody all over the world, and keeps you downhearted and dismal most all the time, and it's such a heavy load for a person.
-- Mark Twain

Wonder what Mark would have to say about today's state of the media?
