The local clubs were delighted with the thought - but as soon as it was discussed at a meeting a variety of parents, ALL of them lawyers by the way, objected - saying they would withdraw their children or we would have to make sure that their children's faces didn't appear EVEN IN OUTTAKE FOOTAGE. Hysteria doesn't begin to convey the tone of the meetings. It wasn't worth it and we quit trying. Maybe I'll pick it back up again with the gymkhana groups who seem a LOT less yuppie. I am coming to have a profound dislike for parents who are lawyers. Common sense doesn't apply to them. Parents who are judges, on the other hand, are great. I guess it's age and experience that yields wisdom. It sure isn't law school.
