1 Idiots. My kid broke/sprained his foot (xray was inconclusive) "flying" off a swing at a day camp for autistic kids last summer. He was fine my biggest worry was that the insurance co. would sue the camp.

People have got to get a grip and freeze these weenies out of the process.

7 "no running on the playground."

Seriously, isn't 'not running', with the attendant obesity and poor cardio-vascular health, a far greater risk than 'running'?

8 The 'modern' Western perception of risk is one of its most critical weaknesses. It is endemic. Examples:
1) See above comment.
2) New prescription drugs - don't consider the harm of not having them; emphasize the harm they sometimes cause.
3) War can be less risky in the long run than 'not war' - see WWII, and perhaps soon Iran?

War happens when both sides think they will win. Peace happens when one side knows it will lose (or chooses to lose even though it could win.) Peace through superior firepower is true.

9 "And the Meek shal Inhibit the earth" (Don't remember just where I first heard that, but it's true)
