Yeah, I know, I wrote RASH five years ago - but I'm still on that pulpit poking fun at how overprotective of our children (and of ourselves) we have become.

What a shame for those geology students. I know who I'd give a job to.
Have you seen www.freerangekids.com? She has a post about this same article. So so sad...
