stranger danger was a bullshit campaign to destroy communities and make people dependent on police, now my municipality spend almost half it's budget on police.
statistically speaking, people (especially children) are more at risk with people they know, than strangers. and them being able to ask strangers for help would help fight child abuse.
Damn, that's a really good point. Plus as a repair guy I've been going to strangers houses for over 2 decades and while I've met some "interesting" people, it really does seem unwarranted to be suspicious of everyone you don't know. I appreciate your comment, I've been thinking about it for a while. It's amazing how much bullshit we were taught as children (and how much of it sticks with us)
There are without a doubt bad people out there. but the vast majority of people are folk you could be friends with.
