    I'm enjoying P&T. This episode, though, is ironic. It's about people trying to stay "too safe". It covers how unlikely school shootings are. Yep. They said that a child is more likely to be hit by lightning than shot in a school. And people who are "paranoid" of every disease...what they go to, to feel safe. They show people showing masks as silly. I'm not saying that this wasn't true...then.

    It's just a lifetime example of how our world is changing.
