Just last evening a friend and I were discussing what a nation of wimps we have become (I'm in Canada). OTT political correctness gone wild. Kids who can no longer be around animals in schools lest they accidentally stick a finger up the dog's rear end and then put that finger in their mouths thus contracting some deadly disease. (OK, that's a bit exaggerated, but not much.) Genius has limits. Stupidity doesn't. Next we'll be taking swings out of kids' playgrounds in case they try to a loop the loop. Bloody idiocy, IMO.
