you know, I'm the single parent father ofa 3 year old little gir lwho has no fear of anyone whatsoever, DSS when they were part of my life questioned this as a bad thing, at first i rreally thought they might be right i mean if Amber is not terrified of other people, she is likely to be hurt or taken or whatever godforsaken nightmarish scenario our cynical adult minds can concieve of. The world we live in is no more or less dangerous than the one our parents lived in, only difference really is that we know more abotu what happens in say california or england or paris i nthe here and nowm, if someone is shot in los angeles i can know about in 15 minutes. This media intense society has allowed us to begin to consider the world's problems and the enormity of it all as a whole. now I'm taking my little gir lout tommorrow night, i'l lbe visititng the neighbors who are up for the trick or treating thing. the old standbye is that you keep a light on your porch. My little girl is my responsibility but i do appreciate that everyone does not try to poison her. I appreciate that my tax money goes ot pay for and train and equip men and women doing a dangerous hard thankless job IE the Police. I will let my child go and enjoy her childhood becuase honestly we get one shot. We should not cripple our children in fear before they actually have a chance to enjoy that wich wil lbe all too fleeting in any case. I've just got to be the overprotective father everyone accuses me of being anyhow, oh well. :) also o nthe whole note about Halloween, did anyone else think that the city of newton are idiots for canceling the thing in the schools? Apparently it's a bad thign to be nice to your neighbors kids and give them candy, and to enjoy dressign up in costumes. Gee i wonder how they'd feel about the Legion nd fandom in general huh Jodi? *chuckles* We live ina strange world. Halloween is bad. Political Correctness is good.....NOT.
