Politics and people
Los Angeles is trying to put in a light rail line to the sea from Down Town. Which I think is an awesome idea. Anyway they're going to be using the old railroad corridor that runs through the city to make for the line. It's right near by and there are a lot of signs now saying "No to the Light Rail for ex why reasons". One of those reasons is "Kids and Trains don't mix".
Where upon my brain goes, "Well duh, that's why you teach your children to stay away from the trains." You know, take responsibility for it? I mean there are cities all over the world that have trains and light rails with kids near by. It's been like that since there have been trains. The fact that this is considered to be a 'reasonable' argument against the trains means that the parents aren't supposed to be responsible for teaching their children to be safe around trains.
