And their employers will certainly care how their performance is.

Needless to say, that got him into all kinds of trouble with the coach. <BR/> It didn't take long before he lost all interest in the game and didn't want to return the next year because "it was too boring".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17068888.post-32261639482308905152007-04-20T14:45:00.000-07:002007-04-20T14:45:00.000-07:00Mad, mad, mad, I tell you!

Harry Carey is turning in his "holy cow" grave.<BR/><BR/>This idea that it's just as good to win or lose has obviously gone from our playgrounds directly to the Democrat Congress where they think that it's just as good to lose the War on Terror as it is to win it.<BR/><BR/>Well, to quote the great football coach Vince Lombardi, "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing". God help us if the Lombardi era has passed.<BR/><BR/>I'm for winning on the ball field as well as the battlefield. Losing in baseball or softball is regrettable but losing on the battlefield is not an option.David Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04843416611989589643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17068888.post-3360556604614107152007-04-20T09:46:00.000-07:002007-04-20T09:46:00.000-07:00My daughter went to a public school for Kindergart...My daughter went to a public school for Kindergarten where they arent allowed to run at their 10 minute recess. <BR/><BR/>She now goes to private school where the teachers and parents apparently arent afraid to let the kids run and play and be kids. <BR/><BR/>Thank God we're still allowed to go to private schools in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
