How Did We Survive?
Doug Ross asks, "How did we survive?" For anyone who grew up in the days before state-mandated safety regulations governed every damn aspect of childhood, it strikes a bittersweet note, and serves as a reminder that, notwithstanding the hysteria of the "If It Just Saves One Child" Ninny Brigade, things really were better when we were free to be -- what's the word I'm looking for? -- kids.

So the studies say that our kids are sick all the time because their parents are obsessive clean-niks; our kids have allergies because we keep them so closeted that they are never exposed to anything; and our kids are fat because we never lock them outside, away from electronics. How DID we survive?
