Quote of the day:
“Kids are like any other group of people a few winners, a whole lot of losers! This country is filled with loser kids who simply aren't going anywhere! You can't save them all. You can't do it. You gotta let 'em go, you gotta cut 'em loose; you gotta stop over-protecting them, because your making 'em too soft. For one thing, there's too much emphasis on safety and safety equipment: childproof medicine bottles, fireproof pajamas, child restraints, car seats. And helmets! Bicycle, baseball, skateboard, scooter helmets. And I also know that all you boring single dads and working moms, who think you're such heros, aren't gonna like this, but somebody's gotta tell you, your children are overrated and overvalued, and you've turned them into little cult objects. What ever happened to natural selection, survival of the fittest? The kid who swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own. Simple stuff. Nature knows best!”
