I have, more or less literally just this minute, returned from seeing The Hobbit.
Personally I quite liked Radagast and his bunnies (although, for heaven's sake, why did he have to cross the path of the fleeing dwarves quite so often?). But I do kinda see your point. *wag*
Yeah, the knee-jerk reaction sometimes band-aids over one symptom, but inevitably doesn't solve the underlying problem... which is usually ill-understood, and costs money to study and rectify.
At the end of the day, there's NO GUARANTEE that the world will be a completely innocuous, safe place. Honestly the people who live here should stop treating it as such or expecting it to be completely risk free. I drive ~50 miles every day, and the odds of me being killed in a car accident are thus pretty high. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop driving, or insist that people ban cars (which yes, I know are not designed to run into people, but it still happens all the time).
What really surprised me was the NRA's solution of essentially creating a police state where armed security guards would be posted at essentially all public locations. Pretty ironic. :P
