The Coloradoan reports that an elementary school has banned tag.

I think this is really stupid. The “protection” of children has become really absurd. I don’t think I need to go into the reasons because well, if you ask me, it’s quite obvious why it’s a really terrible decision. But if you really don’t know, read the comments there.

Here’s a second example of policy makers who don’t think about their actions. NCAA has asked an OU fan to stop his fund-raiser for a college player who was killed in a school shooting.

It’s amazing (and quite scary) how often the people in power don’t think about what they are doing and just blindly follow the rules. How about actually having some intelligent people in power one day? I think society will be much better off if that happens.
