It's just as safe today to play out by the street or to go to summer camp as it was when we were kids. The difference now is that the news media will report emotional crimes nationwide now, where when we were kids, they wouldn't be reported at all, or only locally.

When I was a kid, a guy in my town baked his baby in the oven. Today, that would make national news, maybe even world news. Back then, it didn't even make statewide news.

The comments about increased airport security and graphic violence on TV are right on though.
