Note to parents: Don't let your child rollerblade in stores

[Deja Q]

I know it's typically not deemed a 'civil' practice, and the Libertarian in me shouldn't give a damn about the savage, but the next time I see a parent bring in a child wearing rollerblades into a store and let it glide around as if there is no such thing as 'danger' or 'endangering others', I'm going to open my mouth. Hell, management didn't seem to care either.

And, no, this wasn't Walmart. This was in Petco. The store where they treat people like pets. Oops, pets as people. Whatever, they'd take money from bird or beast if it had a billfold...

1. There are tennis-shoes with wheels built into the

bottom of them. I see kids rolling around stores all of the time.

2. No less dangerous or annoying, though

I've had kids nearly plow into me as they were skating in the Kmart where I worked.

3. I guess I have never had a bad experience.

4. They're called Heelys.

And they're pretty damn expensive.

5. Really? Well, I always see kids wearing them!

I kinda wish they had them when I was little!

6. They'd have to be...

though no doubt they're made as cheaply as possible anyway.
