    I did every last one of those things as a kid I’m still here. The perceived is usually worse than actual. Btw Once he mentioned that battery I swear I could taste it again after all these years

    I’ve done all five things that he mentioned and I lived through each. As a society we need to quit fearing that which is least to be feared. Fear can lead society into a captive status and destroy lives. FAC media committee has a big job in educating society on that which is to be feared and that which shouldn’t occupy a moment of our lives. We need to understand that we all screw up and have failures but those failures should not control our lives and should not compel us to try to control the lives of others. Let’s all learn from our failures and move on.
