Playin' It Safe

I was reading the other day a description of an adult- ed art class offered by someone and it said: "Friendly classes offered in a non- threatening environment". I took a double take to check and make sure that it was for ADULTS and not an ad for a preschool.

After thinking about the demographic this ad was supposed to appeal to, I wondered how this group could possibly handle the responsibility of driving a motor vehicle (especially in the aggressive, lethal suburban areas). Should they be allowed to have a drivers license? I also then realized a large amount of these same folks had reproduced and have offspring. In todays often terrifying world, how on earth can they HONESTLY shoulder the responsibility of providing for and raising sub- adults? Maybe it is just the actual difficulty of learning that is the problem here since being "arty" is supposed to be "fun" and work and effort might inhibit "self expression" and "freedom". Isn't it nice to be talented?
