Remember back in the fifties and sixties (if you're old enough) when you'd read the obituaries and they were full of reports of infants dying from unsafe cribs, people starving to death, millions of kids dying from lack of child-proof packaging, the youngsters dying like flies from unsafe and exposed playground equipment...
"...Little Johnnie was the 37,212th child this year to die, trapped by the slide down panels on his crib..."
"...Mr. Hanson was found on Willow Street, dead, in a pile of roughly 2,700 other corpses dead from the starvation sweeping America..."
"...Young Betty was found dead after strangling on aspirin that had been left unguarded on the TV tray. She is the 450th casualty from TV tray exposed aspirin in our state this year..."
"...James passed away hours after being struck in the head by an unsupervised see-saw. He was the 58th see-saw victim this year in our fair town..."
Remember? Of course you don't. You're purposefully blocking it out....
