Finally an idea I can get behind..

I can think of few downsides to this.. school budgets will improve as we'll be able to do away with phys ed classes.. the smart kids will take out their earphones on the walk to school and have a chance to run from the predators.. the less intelligent ones.. well.. class sizes will decrease.. that'll make teachers happy..

People will learn a little more respect for nature.. as they'll be able to watch it play out from behind the relative safety of their front windows..

Your neighbor just lets his dog out to run around and crap on your lawn? Not for long..
