"maybe i'm just soft because I'm a new dad and I get angry and depressed when I think about an event in the Tacoma Dome removing the top of some little kid's head." RR, I'm not unsympathetic to your point of view, but it makes me cringe nonetheless. Our society has perpetrated some of it's most glaring tyrannies under the banner of "It's for the children!

Hockey rinks have lexan shields to protect the spectators. Is that a reasonable or an unreasonable precaution? More »

When you attend a baseball game there is a reasonable expectation that a baseball or part of a baseball bat will fly into the stands. When you attend a monster truck show there is no similar expectation. More »
