The funny thing is: how is our time suddenly became more dangerous than the past? With hookers and drunks on every corner. With first cars driving without any sets of laws. With almost everyone carrying a weapon. How is it that in the past we had less crazy or dangerous people around? The over-protection is a real issue: how the hell do the children these days explore the world around them? Only TV and internet? That's not it: you can see but you cannot feel the world around you. You cannot become a certain part with it and take something from it inside you.
