Unproductive? Fear writes laws and wins elections.

  I think parents is referring to us - regular people. It is unproductive for people like us. For people, who want to induce fear for one reason or another, clearly it nearly a goal unto itself.

    A different take on this - authorities are most powerful when they can keep the people in fear. When the people lose the fear a revolution of some kind usually follows (peaceful or otherwise).
