    I agree the 2 year old baby spoon is a good alert. But I played with slingshots since I was 5. I was setting off rockets by the time I was 12. I tested out of my first year of college in my science major BECAUSE I had a fascination with how things worked.

    THIS kind of article is the epitome of the problem of America. Protecting your children from everything turn them into fearful, self-indulgent, narrow minded, uncreative robots. If we ever WERE invaded by the North Koreans, Chinese or Icelanders, half of America would simply hand over their homes and cars rather than defend their family and neighborhood. Our grandparents from the GREATEST GENERATION would be appalled. I sure am.
