I have received this in my email no less than 3 times. Most of the list makes sense and is good for kids. However some things in the list are flat out dangerous. There is a reason Child mortality rates have been cut by 90% over the last century(that number is from wiki).

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.

Does anyone think that anything on the above list is good for a child?
