New As somebody who will probably have children...
...I 100% agree with Ashton on this. Too much bullshit (censorware, increased survelliance, limited civil liberties) is being sold by The Powers That Be as being "for the children" - and if you are against their latest cockamanie idea, well, you must be a pedophiliac child molester.

I'm sick of that attitude. Let the ideas sink or swim on their own merits, rather than based on wrongly linking something to your emotional heartstrings.
"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the wise cannot see all ends." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring.

I agree 100% with this. We cannot eliminate risk; it's flat out impossible. The idea that we can will simply teach our children how not to appropriately assess risk.
