Nanny State

You’re a big boy/girl now – Act like it

We can't enforce important laws we already have, but now we're enacting stupid laws we don't need.

Keg laws
Helmut Laws
Seatbelt Laws
Banning of Trans-Fatty Food
State Liquor Stores
The taking of private land for the "good of all”
Banning the Ten Commandments
Calling opinion “hate speech”
Banning Internet Gambling
Ordering stupid “precautions” on products such a Drano telling people not to drink it
No Smoking Laws

What’s next? A law stating that Lap Dances cannot be performed in a lap? Er, forget it.

Wonder where the groupthink that produces this crap starts?

Kids are not allowed to be kids. They can't have Christmas, Halloween, play tag or dodge ball, kiss a girl on the cheek or play "war" nor receive an education they need. Instead, students get mandated classes that have nothing to do with preparing students to be productive citizens.

The kids can't read, can't add and can't grow up to be productive citizens, but they know what we, as a country, need to be to become a "better" society of the world.

This last election will produce more of these "feelgood" laws in our Nanny State.
