I have been thinking lately that maybe it should:

I work in a supermarket, and Child Labor Laws restrict the following areas for
minors:

-Cannot operate a compactor or bailer
(these machines today have safety devices, so that you cannot operate them
while they are open)  So, a minor cannot throw garbage into a hole, shut the
door and push a button.
-Cannot operate a conveyor belt
-Cannot operate any item with a guillotine effect

The irony is, the law says they cannot operate the previous items, but they can
operate a motor vehicle (and we all know how dangerous they can be)!!???!!

To be nobody--but yourself--in a world that is doing its best, night and 
day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle 
which any human being can fight.          -- E. E. Cummings
