			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d seen this recently online, but this <a href="http://www.amarillo.com/stories/040208/new_9999065.shtml">column</a> by Jon Mark Beilue:<span style="font-style: italic"> <a href="http://www.amarillo.com/stories/040208/new_9999065.shtml">A real kick in the gut</a></span> is right on target.  Amazing.  This is nuts and a sign of just how bad some parents can be to their children.  In a time when parents are supposed to be raising up their kids, teaching them about wrong and right, we&#8217;ve got some out there who think we ought to put them in a cage and go at it for competition.  John McCain is right.  This is human cockfighting, and any parent who&#8217;d let their kid do this ought to have a thorough review by their state&#8217;s Child Protective Services.</p>

<p>Apparently Little League, soccer and Cub Scouts aren&#8217;t sufficient to mold young minds and bodies in after-school activities. There needs to be more.So what&#8217;s a kid to do? Well, how about sucker-punching a fellow 6-year-old. Maybe knee a young lad in the face. Get them to tap out and go off crying in the corner.</p>
<p>It was bound to happen. Ultimate Fighting, the new hot sport, has trickled down to the SpongeBob set.</p>
