Further Pussification of America

This is a short article about a school banning "Tag," and other like games for fear of injury. Now when you read this, try to raed between the lines. This is not a safety issue, it is a money issue. Schools are used daily, every school every where. To reduce cost, schools must limit chances of injury. So the thousand-plus-year-old game of TAG is gone from this school system. Other school systems will follow suit.

What this does is limit the competive nature (read: pussification) of our children. Games teach us to be competitive, and to think strageticly. Some of you may say, "How is Tag a strategic game?" The answer is simple, "Where do I run?" The child must choose a direction, path, and means of escape/chase in this game. That is strategic thinking.

As far as being competitive, you need this to advance in life. With out that competitive spirit, nothing will advance you above the other person applying for the job.

Also as you have read in a previous blog of mine, our kids are fat. Playing TAG is a great exersice.
