Idiocracy of the day

So I was driving to work this morning and on the radio I heard one of those commercials for the local news at 8 or 6 or whatever with some extra sensationalism. It made me laugh so that was good but it also makes me hate the general Ideal of the evening news anymore. The headline for Fox news this morning was "Are your children in danger for being in Marching Band?" Yeah I know funny right danger and marching band in the same phrase. See you thought your geeky kid was OK playing his flute and walking on the football field but he is in grave danger. He might loose his hearing from all that loud noise that the instruments make. I mean seriously most people were probably listening to the radio louder than the music on the field. Things like this just make my blood boil sometimes. Please let our kids have fun be kids don't protect them from everything. Let the kids use rope swings, jump into large pools of water, go skiing, play sports. Yes they ARE going to get hurt but that's part of being a kid. This is what is wrong with our society keeping your kid locked up in their room playing video games cause the real world is too dangerous. I say let em live be kids have fun experience life grow up and be good citizens who will treat their children the same and maybe just maybe The United States Of America might start acting like what the USA should and do things for itself fixing problems instead of complaining about them and not be all PC and the laughing stock of the civilized world for all of our problems.
