Exactly. There are extremes on both ends. My environment was hazardous, but not in the way some parts of Alaska, for example, would be for even trained adults. I don't think there's ever truly been a universal glory days when children everywhere could just venture off safely. It always has and always will be relative. Some people tend to romanticize the past as if everything has only gotten worse. Some hazards have merely been replaced by others, while some have been mostly eliminated. People who grew up in areas like mine decades before me had to worry about diseases caused by malnutrition while I didn't because of modern technology. Tradeoffs have always existed.
