Are they trying out for "World's Dumbest? I think it's a shoe-in!
Possibly, or at least it seems like that. Boys will be boys. Years ago, radio talk show host Art Bell had a yearly "Darwin Award," which went to the most stupid thing that any idiot could even consider doing. He had a lot of contenders. In essence, it amounted to culling or reducing the DNA self-destruct idiot pool. You'd be surprised as to how many candidates. Hey, did I tell you about the guy that attached some helium balloons to a lawn chair? The airplane pilot couldn't believe what he was seeing. The contender had brought along a BB gun to pop the balloons, thereby lowering altitude in anticipation of a soft landing, which he miraculously executed. However, the majority of qualifying candidates weren't as successful.
When I was a kid, my mom had a migraine, took some medication and went to sleep. My sisters and I took all the sofa cushions out in the front yard and invited our neighborhood friends to jump off of our roof with us onto the cushions below. Did I mention that that the cushions were a very light beige and cream print? And there was no cleaner good enough to get the grass stains out. My sisters and I had to do chores all Summer to earn the money to recover those cushions, besides not being able to sit for a week!

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." (Philip K.Dick)
Today at one of the schools, I was approaching the cafeteria and there was a educator-faculty member screaming at the kids through a bullhorn to "shut-up" and to "put their heads" down on the table - that "no one was leaving until the entire cafeteria was quiet."
I thought: Is teaching a kid to be trained like a dog where American society is now headed?
Well, I don't throw light-colored sofa cushions on the ground any more-or jump off the roof, either!
Jumping off a roof with an umbrella, like Mary Poppins, doesn't work very well.
Nor does climbing/walking up the side of a building ala 'Batman' work very well either.
I didn't use an umbrella-we were playing "Geronimo" jumping on the cavalry and beating them up. When we played Cowboys and Indians, the Indians always won!

You couldn't train my dogs that way. Prolly won't work out on the kids, either.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller
