Helpful government
Government from local to national is deciding what is "best" for us. California wants to put remote control thermostats in homes because the government knows best. California has decided that children cannot be home schooled unless the parent has a teaching certificate because the government knows best. Mississippi has a bill pending in the legislature that fat people (as defined by the state) cannot be served in restaurants because the government knows best. Texas tells people they cannot play eight liner machines that pay out too much because the government knows best. The United States government tells us what time it is because the government knows best.
I'm tired of the government telling me what is best. I want to return to the days when I was allowed to decide for myself what is best.

What happened to the stories and blogs?
Okay, what happened to the stories and blogs about the court overturning the decision of the state to take the kids from the FLDS compound? I've tried to pull up the comments from readers and get an error message. Everything else works fine. What's up?

Have you ever shared an opinion and watched someone act crazy because they disagreed with you? Have you ever wondered what they were capable of? What if they got so mad at you they decided to make a false claim to CPS to "win." I know of this happening. One false report..... You have a group of people who with one false report can destroy a child's life (in the name of protecting children) and even when they go against the law - judges and policemen - will never be held accountable. You have a media where rumor can be reported as truth and a society that believes everything it hears. That's a scary combination. Freedom of speech? Nah, not if you make a neighbor mad. One false report can destroy the lives of your children.
