I post an article a few days back about Davis signing legislation regulating kids' back backs and how much weight they could carry, etc...

Is there no sanity left in this nation? Now we need a department of back pack inspection and policing? I'm serious when I say it's no wonder we have an idiot in Maryland shooting people. It's as sane as anything else going on.

New Law Will Lighten Student Backpack Loads (Gov. Davis to the rescue...)

Maybe they ought to check the backpacks for sufficient weight, and instead of wimpy games with no winners during PE, the kids should do a 5 mile hike. Get them in shape, and probably cut down on the need for ritalin. They'll also have good stories to tell their grandkids...

"When I was your age, I used to hump a 25 lb pack two miles uphill to school, and four miles uphill home. In the winter. Snow three feet deep if it was an inch. Don't think we had snowshoes, oh no. Snowshoes were for wimps and sissies...."
