Scraped knees

Alright, I'm not gonna lie. I've probably had a higher than average amount of minor injuries. Scraped knees, cut fingers, bruises and the like. Not a lot of major ones. And dammit, ya know I never wore a seat belt as a kid. Never even heard of bicycle "helmets" or "knee pads" when skateboarding. Our overprotective whiny-assed culture has marketed this crap to parents with the fear that junior might (gasp) get a "boo-boo". Suck it up, dammit. The fear culture has expanded with widespread media coverage of "missing children". Now we are being told to put leashes on them at the supermarket and implant chips in them so we can track them. Give the paranoia a rest. MOST kids that "disappear" are killed and disposed of by their caregiver. Oh, I get it, so if you are not the sole caregiver, shove a nanny-cam up the kid's teddybear's ass and see if she's putting out cigarettes on junior's forehead. Got find another use for those bluetooth webcams whose resolution is too crappy for internet chat. Marketing geniuses. Rock out.
