[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 433671, member: 9240"] Pardon me if I don't see it this way. [B][I]At all!![/I][/B] Why? The kid wasn't "paying attention" or they would have seen that at no time did the camera point at any of them. The kid is fear filled because the parent is fear filled because that's the way the people who run this country like it. Those who see what we have in this post-9/11 nanny state as anything resembling "freedom" or "liberty" have lost sight of what that really means. "Lack of protection"?! Pardon me again while I clean the bullsh*t off my screen. One kid looks at a kid the wrong way in class and teachers and counselors are facing hours of anti-bullying paperwork. Please, our kids are so over-protected that they have no idea what "freedom" is. Yes, bad things happen. They always have and they always will. All it takes in today's culture is one bad incident to sweep through the press and the huddled (in fear) masses are ready to give away another slice of personal liberty in the name of "safety". I need to go rinse the vomit out of my mouth. [/QUOTE]
