I think a lot of it is the sensationalism of the news. I mean I was pretty young at the time. But my parents never talked about us getting abducted or anything. And now all I hear is about the latest threats to our kids and health etc. All the parents feeding their kids organic stuff and shoving medicine down there troats for every little cold they get. Then we wonder where all these new allergies and stuff come from. Eat some freaking dirt!

EDIT: PS I love CC's post. Maybe minus the knives and I was raised pretty much the same. It hasn't been since i moved out that I've become "friends" with my Dad. Cuz he was a mean SOB growing up. If it wasn't done his way you slept in the garage. My little brother used to ride his bike around no helmet, no shoes, no shirt. When he was like 5. Wore out the treads on his tires before he outgrew the bike.
