No shot putters allowed


I participated in on various track and field and cross country teams for 14 years. During those years, I never witnessed what I would call hazing.

Sure, the freshman always hauled the equipment and the occasional shot putter would get a distance runner on the ground so they could fart on them but serious hazing never happened on any teams or school functions I was on.

Even if there was, what would be the statute on limitations on hazing. I'd say forty years should be about right especially when you can't get the details from on of the victims................ because they're dead........
As if that's not bad enough, barely hours after Obama flip-flops on the issue -- just in time for a big

Hollywood fundraiser where megamillionaires no doubt think that gay marriage is on the top of everyone else's mind as well -- the Obama campaign releases the bombshell that Mitt Romney was a prankster in high school.

Seriously, they are trying to make the case that Romney, who may have been involved in a 1965 prank in which a male student's long hair was cut, was (and therefore still is) anti-gay.

Remember, Romney was in high school almost 50 years ago. Even when I was in high school, a little more than 25 years ago, the issue of someone's sexual preference was far less thought of than it is today, not least because people of all ages stayed "in the closet" far longer and more completely than they do today.
