I agree with a lot that's been said. I hate the nanny state, believe me, but even we get burned.
I like sideways' suggestion of sticking around a while and let the pipes cool.
We live in a country where 'man bites dog' and the man will sue the dog owner. And settle with your insurance co for a cool $100k.
I don't know who's worse, the dog owners or the parents.
When I take my kids to a show, I give 'em a speach.
