No Running On The Playground

Another reason to hang all the lawyers. Short ropes preferred.

"Right now it looks like we're developing a nation of wimps."

That about covers it. Thanks to the lawyers and the Nanny State legislators, we have a whole generation that assumes everything always has to be perfectly safe for them. I'm so glad my kids are grown.

The person I share an office with had her son sent home from elementary school with a note the other day. Apparently there is a child, 1 single child, in his school that has an "alergy" to peanuts. Parents are being informed that their children are not to bring any sort of food with peanut products...like say...the Deadly Peanut Butter Sandwich(tm)! All because of one pair of glassy-eyed-mouth-breather parents and and a school administration with a spine made of rahmen noodles, parents are being informed that their child could be suspended from school for packing a loaded can of Planter's Mixed Nuts!

Pure insanity. At some point, the sane parents are going to have to rise up and put a stop to this sort of idiocy. And in this lawsuit driven society perhaps the only way may eventually be to fight fire with fire. At some point, the sane parents may have to make sure that the school administration is more affraid of them than they are of the hypochondriac parents of the Bubble Boy.
