said by tschmidt :As a progressive I believe government has a right and duty to protect citizens. But these feel good "what about the children" laws passed by Congress make me sick. I have to agree Tom. The last time I checked, it was the parents responsibility to raise a child, not the governments. The problem is, we're a society of lazy-ass people ... Obama even touched upon that in his inauguration speech. Too many people would rather legislate the protection of their children than to actually sit them down and tell them the consequences of certain actions, or that the stork doesn't really bring babies. |
