This is disgraceful. Seriously? Why don't we just live in a world with no risk/reward, no competition, and no reason to excel. Sounds FAIR right? WTF?

What do you think Gulch? With a young son about to start school (home school hybrid) this escpecially hits home as it is EXACTLY what I do NOT want taught to him

    I can see where this will eventually go: 20 years or so from now in the NFL, it will go from being known as the Super Bowl to the Bowl Game of Fairness & Equality. Every game ends in a tie, and everyone is tickled silly to be a winner. Let the puking begin..

    "You know, Miss Taggart, I don't think that such a motor should ever be made, even if somebody did learn how to make it. It would be so superior to anything we've got that it would be unfair to lesser scientists, because it would leave no field for their achievements and abilities. I don't think that the strong should have the right to wound the self-esteem of the weak."
