Now now Horst, this is Australia.
The Department of Human Services decreed a long time ago that children
are no longer permitted to attend the school of hard knocks.
Not without legal disclaimers being signed first.

Amen. I fully agree. A middle way is necessary. Google may be one of the few
companies who found it - allowing creativity without degenerating into
unproductivity. An example to everybody, they deserve their success.
(but I did and still do let my children play with razor blades - seriously. I
rather have a child with cut hands, than a fuckwit without any practical
experience, lifelong dependent on mommy, incapable of taking responsibility
for their own actions. Within a *family*, things can be kept under very loose
control and still work well, and in many ways open source communities can be
like families)
