Slate has an interesting article on participation trophies and American culture ...
Here's my question, especially since conservatives get so bent out of shape over participation trophies ...
How about participation trophies that come in the form of corporate bankruptcies, financial bailouts and draft deferments that keep on paying out? Nothing says 'pat on the back' just for showing up, AND making a mess of things, than the institutionalized excuses we have that compel others to pay for your colossal incompetence and genuine cowardice.
Trophies come in many forms, you know.
Just saying ...

Kudos to David for steering me to this article.
