Wiffle Ball, Dodge Ball, Flag Football, Kickball, Tag ... What do they all have in common?
Yes, it's true that we all had fun playing them as kids, but I'm looking for something a bit more nefarious. Give up?
Well, it seem that the State of New York has branded these, and other childhood games as "risky". According to FoxNews:
"Under the new regulations, any program that offers two or more organized recreational activities -- with at least one of them on the risky list -- is deemed a summer camp and subject to state regulation."
What's the big deal? Well, today's piece in the New York Daily News notes that
"... regulations could cripple small recreational programs, forcing them to pay a $200 fee to register as a summer camp and provide medical staff."
Look at that ... another way for the state to make money ... and oversee our lives.
