Chapter 1 is the one part of my book Bubble Burst: The Truth About the Dairy Farm which isn't fictional. I was really floored by the results of the survey. I think it is a sad statement about society that 73 percent of the women (it was all women) would give away their children's freedom in order to have a gun or SUV. That is a sad commentary on so many things. Materialism, that we live in a fear based society full of paranoia, and selfishness.
One of the great ironies I found was that many of the women cited freedom as the reason they would stick their kid in a bubble, in order to keep their SUV's and guns. Yet, guns and SUVs have nothing to do with freedom; if anything guns and SUVs are about intimidating others to manipulate and take away freedom. It is also a scary commentary on what is going on in our society. Governments pander to gun and SUV nuts who claim they need these things for freedom, meanwhile stripping away their freedom (and the freedom for the rest of us goes in the garbage along with it).
Now keep in mind many of the SUV and gun nuts weren't big fans of the bubble. Some said they just wouldn't follow the bubble rule. But I find that to be all talk. The reality is when CPS or the government came knocking they would stick their kid(s) in a bubble.
The audience for this survey was most likely largely American, with some Canadian participation and perhaps some other countries represented, as well.
