Is the world really so dangerous?

[IrishRob]

Last 2 mornings on the way into work I have taken a slightly different route through a nice enough area. On both occasions I have seen the same bus-stop filled with cars - parents with kids. Now, I'm 32 and I don't ever remember this as a kid.

Is this the world getting more dangerous or us getting more fearful?

No - parents want their children to grow up with no immune system and totally paranoid.
