All of his concerns are very valid. I've lived in this country for three quarters of a century, and I've seen these absurdities creep in. As a child I could ride my bike all over the neighborhood, without my mother worrying about where I was. I spent hundreds of hours at a nearby creek, learning all the various creatures that lived in it. There was no lifeguard, or usually anyone other than other kids around. I'm sure I fell in more than once, but managed to survive. Life here might be a good deal better if we took Shakespeare's suggestion of killing all the lawyers.
