outsourcing employees have leverage not seen in the U.S. since the dot-com boom. Only in India, the boom isn't built on prayers but on the alluring facts of labor arbitrage -- employees get paid a fraction of their U.S. counterparts, yet it's still a decent wage.

I did some research on the validity of the waivers often requested by sports teams and facilities.

As a lawyer and parent, I am extremely reluctant to sign a waiver that releases an organization from liability for its own negligence, as opposed to the ordinary risks of the activity.

I know creative legal and insurance minds could come up with a better solution. Participants should have recourse in the event of catastrophic injury (these forms even waive liability for paralysis and death!) But smaller injuries should be waived. Then the organization could buy insurance that covers only the worst stuff. This would be cheaper, like a higher-deductible auto or homeowners policy, yet would provide reasonable protection to the customers.

All-or-nothing thinking has put us as parents in an untenable position. One author wisely questions whether it is ethical for an organization to require such waivers. I consider it unethical and truly resent being asked to sign away ALL legal rights.

Change won't happen unless parents take action.
