I could not sleep last night.

The news had a segment on bullet proof backpacks for children. The sales are going up.  Good parents protect their children.

With. Bullet. Proof. Backpacks.

I am utterly bereft at that.

In other words, if a child picked up a handful of stones and pelted other children with them, the solution to keep the other children safe would not be to remove the stones or to limit access to them.

The solution would be to give each child a helmet.

Bullet? Proof? Backpacks?
