On the way to checking my email and updating the site here I'm typically confronted with some sort of ridiculous story on the Yahoo main page, but the one I saw tonight I just couldn't pass up. This girl at a middle school in Illinios got two days of
detention for hugging. Not even full good ones, just weak little arm over the shoulder hugs. The school has a ban against public displays of affection-hugs included-on school grounds. Now my first thought was that this is hilarious; it's just another case of misguided authority in our country. My second thought was, this is a job for the Care Bears! Seriously, send them out, Funshine Bear, Love-A-Lot Bear, Cheer Bear, Tenderheart Bear, get them off their lazy asses hanging out on clouds in Care-A-Lot and get them to break off a big old piece of Care Bear Stare all upside the heads of the folks running the schools out there in Illinois. Really, is Professor Coldheart the superintendent out there? All I know is we need those little multi-colored bears to get on a Mission of Caring out there.
