Not to mention overuse of hand sanitizer every 5 seconds on kids for fear they might have dirty hands or be exposed to a germ.

If more kids were allowed to be like Pigpen once in a while there would be far less problems. I also get a kick out of people that act repelled by any little bit of dirt. There are a whole lot of people today who don't know anything about hard work and how filthy some jobs actually end up being. It's not the end of the world as they would have you believe just clean up, wash clothes, take a shower and go again tomorrow.
