Once again, another “recognized” media outlet is cramping our style. This time, it’s long-time reader/often linking to us CNN.
Look at their site today, and what do you find? “How to keep your kids pain-free.”
This work of outright theft is a numbered list of steps in bold font, followed by a paragraph or three of regular-font details.
Here’s an example from their “own” Web site:
5. Don’t be afraid of opiates
Opiates can help a child in severe pain, and the risks are small, pediatric pain experts say.
The sad part is, not only did they steal one of our features — which also runs on Thursdays — but they did it wrong.
You don’t make your kids pain-free with pinwheels and drugs; you burn all their nerves off at an early age before memories last. Think of it as a follow-up procedure to a circumcision or ear-piercing.
