Gus Van Horn blog Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Chroniclingour nation's descent into one where the people no longer mind their own business, Lenore Skenazy describes several of the ridiculous consequences -- for the related enterprises of rearing children and growing up -- of precautionary thinking. Among them, we have the following: There was a case here about three years ago when seven chess players playing outside were fined for ... wait for it ... playing chess. Their chess tables -- concrete ones, placed there by the city -- were deemed too close to the kids, so the men were booted. This silliness isn't just keeping adults from from participating in activities they enjoy (including teaching children chess): It's interfering with such child antics as visiting kid-oriented stores alone. Read the whole thing, and then consider whether it is any real surprise that a people such as ours find the government snooping at every turn. -- CAV Updates Today: Minor corrections and rewording.
