Editorial: Why Don't Lion Tamers Use Chairs Anymore?

Does everything have to change all the time just for the sake of change? Take lion tamers using chairs, for example. Like so many other important traditions, the lion tamer’s chair has been unceremoniously cashiered, discarded, casually tossed onto the refuse heap of cultural irrelevancy. Or at least, I think it has. I mean, I haven’t actually checked, but come on, you know they're not still using the chairs. I suppose I could Google it, but I’m pretty confident on this one, and if I’m right, it makes me sick.
