Dirties. Shitballs. Human cockroaches. Regular customers. The scum of humanity. Good, kind-hearted human beings who have strayed down the wrong path and need guidance (liberal definition).

It's funny how standards change.  When I was a kid, nobody used car restraints for kids.  We didn't even use seat belts.

The trend I'm seeing this summer is parents outfitting their kids in full life vests just to swim in the pool and/or at the beach. A family member of mine has decided to join the party on this. Parental overprotectiveness is getting worse and worse by the year.

There is extremism in parenting today, no doubt. I don't see child safety seats as a reflection of that, though.

I think the worst thing in the world is a parent trying to protect their small child.  It disgusts me.  Librruuls!

There's creeping extremism there too though. Every year, the rules get more restrictive, keeping larger and older kids in the seats.
