Do you disapprove of that too?

Good grief, Laz. Did I say I disapproved of seatbelts or was disappointed that smallpox had been eradicated? I was merely musing about the pros and cons of then vs. the pros and cons of now. Not sure that, on balance, and when all things are considered, we're better off. Not sure we're not, either. Just musing.

If you compare the risk from smallpox vaccinations when I was a kid with the risk of childhood obesity now, for example, I'm not at all sure that growing up now is better.
