The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued reams of playground regulations and actually gone so far as to recommend against tripping hazards, like tree stumps and rocks. Maybe we should just bulldoze the local parks and put in a couple of blobs... made of plastic.

Liberty is a blessing so inestimable, that, wherever there appears any probability of recovering it, a nation may willingly run many hazards, and ought not even to repine at the greatest effusion of blood or dissipation of treasure.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image

Image
... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one's own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.
