Harry,
Safe... School run. Whilst your reference to madmen running amok on campus is crude it's your total omission of the danger you face on the school run itself that is perhaps the greater example of rose tinted spectacle wearing.. Maybe the specs at Life pharmacy are even cheaper!
Seriously Harry, most of the mad men you refer to in the US are subsequently diagnosed with a 'delusional disorder' maybe you should get yourself checked out too.. perhaps they started out spouting total utter nonsense on Internet forums too!
