POPSIf you Suck at Sports, do you Suck at Life? Orson Scott Card goes on to say this about organized sports for kids: "Too much like the real world, too little like play. When I wrote silly poems, that was play. That was just flat-out fun. My parents didn't get involved and nobody yelled at the ump." He wishes that "a kid who's lousy at sports but good at music or theatre or writing or videogames should get as much encouragement and honor as any athlete. But he won't." The only time I had fun with sports was when it was just for fun. If it got competitive I left because I could think of a lot better things to get upset about. I poured myself into drama, debate, reading, videogames. Now I'm 26, married for four years, a filmmaker, and a CEO of my own company.... and I still suck at sports.

POPSWasteful War Can we ever find an alternative?

We lose our ability to truly help others when we put our resources toward destruction. This article does not refer to the present day conflict directly.
