John, I think you're a fatalist. I have a girlfriend who doesn't think I should
let my 10 year old in a group of 10 year olds go 6 blocks from school, 2 blocks
from my house to the local community center with gym, and ice rink, foosball,
etc. It's run by the city and open from 2-6. The kids get out of school at 2PM.
My ex-husband doesn't think our 10 year old should cross a busy street (not
super busy, 2 lanes, north and south bound, probably a car every 2-3 minutes)
with a stop light unattended. Oy guvalt.
