I just read where somebody died cheerleading and now there is a call for 'safety standards'. It never ends. Helmets and full safety gear for cheerleaders anyone?? What a joke. Welcome to The United States of Chickenshyt.
I've read that C.S. Lewis quote before, that is so true. God deliever us from those who want to save us from ourselves.Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -CS Lewis
If it can't Kill you - IT'S NOT A "SPORT"!It's just like when they got rid of the "open" class (500cc) OH MY! WE DON'T WANT OUR CHILDREN HURT RIDING THOSE BIG FAST DIRT BIKES SO LET'S OUTLAW THE CLASS AND GET EVERYONE ON 150CC FOUR STROKES AND RUN THEM ON A TINY INDOOR TRACK WHERE THEY CAN ONLY REACH A TOP SPEED OF 35 MPH OR SO.."
A slippery slope indeed.
