I read somewhere about all this mass hysteria about paedophiles. someone said it's not happening, there is not a war going on outside your front door. it's only there because you are told it's there and you want to believe it's there.

The government wants you to believe that we need to be nannied, and we have got to the point where we want this. and get up in the morning to find out what they are going to do for us today to make our lives more governed than it was yesterday.
I can't really say I've noticed any mass hysteria about paedophiles. There is more of them getting caught because of investigative advances but I don't think there's any mass hysteria. I teach my daughters not to talk to strangers the same way I was taught some time ago.

Anyway.... to get back on topic, would it not be better to use paedophiles as sleeping policeman on all dangerous roads since they appear to serve no other useful purpose in our society.

Second thoughts, bad idea, Lots of people might speed up instead of slowing down.
