POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL LATEST DEMOCRATIC ISSUE. DOMINATING NEWS TODAY Democrats hope to seize this issue and, combined with the aircraft carrier scandal, win the White House. LINK FOR LAFFS

But seriously folks, do we all forget the excesses of our own teen years. Boundaries don't exist for teens unless our parents impose them upon us. Speaking only for myself, I can remember plenty of times where teen "fun" went way overboard when nobody was around to stop us. Some of our "fun" could have killed us. This Powder Puff game took place completely away from adult supervision. Worse, the adults refused to supervise it. The School System refused to allow the game on school property way back in 1975 to avoid "liability". So the kids moved the game. What we have here is massive adult negligence. Everybody let the kids go, and kids being kids, they finally "went". The blame here is with the parents in this school system. There is nothing wrong with a Powder Puff football game supervised by the usual suspects. How many of us guys have played in "flag football games" that got completely out of control? When I was stationed at Alameda NAS flag football was banned after a game resulted in massive injuries to players. When the games were resumed it was with rigid refereeing. Adults ruled.
