Exactly. So why wouldn't they canc? If there was a bus accident the Super. would be reamed.

Come on, Paul. Did you just relocate from the South? This is New England. People ski and do things outdoors in the winter months. Can you sue a grocery chain if you get into an accident going to get your groceries? Your argument could be extrapolated to closing down the state when it rains due to the risk of hydroplaning.... Is that really your view of how our society should be controlled or "protected"? These kids (and many of their young parents) need someone to give them a kick in the azz and tell them to get up, pull on their pants, and get going. The day is wasting away. That is how the country got to being what it once was and admired for.

So if a bus gets in an accident after sliding on the snow is the super going to be praised for preventing the "pussification" of America?

Paul, there is no snow. The local forecast was for 1-3" in this town. Temps were to be above freezing. The risk was not there. Lawyers and insurance companies have scared people from doing what they want and need to be doing. Stop pushing this fear of what if? You have now lived into your sixties (I believe) and you are still here... despite taking the risk of wetsuiting out to various rocks at night. THAT can be construed to being much more risky than putting kids on a school bus HERE this morning.
