THE IT FACTOR:  WHY TAG IS PERPETUAL.

Ah, the game of tag.  A game of virgin youth.  A game of wit, stamina, speed, and strength, the game proves a sporting contest for any child.  “You’re it” claims one.  But this child does not want to be it, who wants to be it, no one.  If you refuse to be it, you will only add to the jubilant cries of the other victors because you will be "it" forever, you cannot win by saying you refuse to play if you are tagged, because you are "it".  You don’t want to be it, therefore the child will tag anyone in site, the cycle continues forever.
