Profit in paranoia

Parents are perhaps more frightened for their children than in any generation in memory--to the point of irrationality. Why? Media sensationalism and a collapse of critical thinking play a role. But as Deep Throat told Woodward, Follow the Money: There's profit in paranoia. My friend Lenore Skenazy is a voice for sanity.

    Double thumbs up for Lenore. This might be in her book and I've forgotten -- but what's the annual gross in the fearmongering, excuse me, child protection, industry, anyway?
