I don't have to check the link. I looked up the very same information when we first started talking about this. I was making a point to Jewel, if I recall correctly, about cars and guns and drugs. I recall that I got some grief for my use of the word, bubble. I know I've said this a dozen times before, but people, in general, really don't have much of a sense of relative risk. (Something I learned working for EPA.) We fear flying but don't give a second thought to getting into a car. If we really are intent on protecting our kids, we wouldn't let them anywhere near a car. Or at least not a car that's not built like a tank. In the grand scheme of things, I have trouble getting exercised about anything a kid can see on a computer screen. Not that we should be cavalier abut any risk, of course, but I would worry more about drugs than porn.
