Today parents taking their kids to the bus stop that's just half a block or a few hundred feet away from the driveway. And then the kids don't even head out to the street until the bus pulls up and is stopped for a minute and then they come running out of their house, making all of the traffic wait. It's as if the people have so much fear built up with the news media and coverage of horrific events that the don't want to chance being exposed any more than they have to be. Buy those events don't happen as often as you think, and the press amplifies all that fear and mistrust and everything.
Sad how kids today are so privileged that they don't even have to wait outside. And how that damages relationships and social skills and everything else. Along with the headphones and ignoring people and everything like that. Technology is in all of our moves to protect against the things that we're so scared of. But people don't realize that there fear is just driving us more and more into a mode where we can possibly be controlled even easier..
