Let kids be kids! PLEASE!

What is this country coming to? Seriously. A school in Co. has banned the game "tag" on its playgrounds.

The reason? "...some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will. "It causes a lot of conflict on the playground," said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal...."

For god's sake! Maybe a sane person would take the opportunity to just teach the teasing children why it's not polite to tease and the teased children how to stand up for themselves. But that's not the new, lazy, fear-ridden American way. We'll just ban something else. Asinine to the nth degree.

Other playground casualties of the new FearUSA® school systems:

• Monkey bars
• See-saws
• Fun of any kind that isn't sponsored by Disney, Elmo, or some other TV shite.

I think you should begin lobbying for all sharp corners in D.C. to be rounded so everyone's children can be safe. And maybe safety harnesses worn 24/7. And all forks must be converted to sporks, so no children put their eyes out. All cats must be de-clawed. And all ovens banned. Only cooking in child-safety-locked microwaves so no burnt fingers. I don't know about you Joe, but it only took once for me to learn that stove tops are hot. DUH.
