Boy, are we way off topic...

Had this discussion with my wife two days ago.  It's become somewhat 
vogue for the semi-rebellious girls to join the wrestling teams. You 
know, to show how 'tuff' they are.  There was one such girl at my son's 
meet last week. Dawn took exception that the coach gave his 105 pounder 
the option of wrestling her.

Problem is, how would you like to be the 105 pound HIGH SCHOOL boy who 
has to wrestle the girl?  You know.  High School.  That period of time 
in America where we institutionalize our children so that they can learn 
to be socially vicious, and we provide no escape for the weaker or less 
viscious. If you win, you get ragged on endlessly for the rest of the 
year (at a minimum).  If you lose...only God his own self can help you.

How would you like to be the coach that must decide if he is going to 
put a freshman in that predicament?

How would you like to be the wrestler that no one would compete against?

How would you like to be the coach that says girls aren't allowed?

Some things are actually harder than designing airplane modifications.  
Not many, but they do exist.
