What's jailball?
Jailball was a bit like capture the flag. Two teams play on like a soccer field. 7-10 soccer or rubber balls or whatever are stashed in each goal area and the goal is to get all the balls-- you were home free if you could get a ball from the goal area and cross the middle of the field with it. Usually we played it with flags so that someone trying to spirit away a ball would have to give it up if the flag was pulled. I don't remember whether or not we jailed people whose flag was pulled.
Shouldn't you be a criminal prosecuter, then?
I guess I'm just as likely to be the guy trying to get people out of jail.
I loved running around and tackling people as a kid. I think I was just not strategic enough for football.
On the older mothers tip, it is a little odd to be running an education campaign for women who would hold off on having kids until their thirties. Those women are pretty educated.

xpost....
SEIU might be protesting health care cuts.
If there are religious conservatives saying it (and there probably are), I'm pretty sure there are people saying it from other points of view, regardless of religion. I think this was recently discussed in the New England Journal of Medicine. I know it is not a new idea. I do think it is part of the equation a people need to take into consideration.
Any chance it was Resolve who put out the ad, tommy? A quick google on "infertility increases with age" doesn't seem to bring up any obviously religious groups on the first page. [link]
Oooops. Delayed Xpost.
Jesse beat me.
But not in a mean-kids dodgeball way, right?
The SEIU had a big to-do 2 years ago in Boston -- office cleaners were threatening a strike, and the mayor had to step in to make the office management companies go to the bargaining table. They protested right outside my office, and we cheered them on.

Aha. So it's actually just scare advertising.

I remembered/figured it out:

Yeah, I saw and noted the xpost after the fact. I got distracted from posting in a timely manner, by one of the products of my fertility.
