With all of the ridiculous new regulations, coddling, and societal mores that seem to be the norm these days, it\u2019s a miracle those of us over 30 survived our childhoods.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the problem with all of this babying:\u00a0it creates a society of weenies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There won\u2019t be more rebels because this generation has been frightened into submission and apathy through a deliberately orchestrated culture of fear. No one will have\u00a0faced adventure and lived to greatly embroider the story<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Kids are brainwashed \u2013 yes,\u00a0brainwashed<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 into believing that the mere thought of a gun means you\u2019re a psychotic killer waiting for a place to rampage.<\/p>\n

They are terrified to do anything when they aren\u2019t wrapped up with helmets, knee pads, wrist guards, and other protective gear.<\/p>\n

Heaven forbid that a child describe another child as \u201cblack\u201d or, for that matter, refer to others as girls or boys.\u00a0No actual descriptors can be used for the fear of \u201coffending\u201d that person, and \u201coffending\u201d someone is incredibly high on the hierarchy of Things Never To Do.<\/p>\n

\u201cFree range parenting\u201d is all but illegal<\/a>\"\"\u00a0and childhood is a completely different experience these days.<\/p>\n
