I just recently heard (I believe in Vermont) that the child's game of tag is now BANNED! I've always known the extreme danger of playing tag and cannot imagine how it survived this long. It should have been abolished when many hazardous installations of playground equipment were eliminated. The playing of tag may be even more risky than taking a school bus to school. We need to find ways to keep our children from playing outside, where risks include sunshine, cold, West Nile Virus, playground equipment, and tag playing children. They are much safer sitting inside at their computers, where the risk of bodily injury doesn't exist. We can all relax knowing that they are safe at their computer screens, insulated from the cold and risk of injury.
