More to Consider

Before we rush to judgment about the government doing any more for us, here is yet another thing to consider.

A 6-year old kid brought his Cub Scout fork, spoon, and knife set to school. He was probably all excited about eating his lunch. Instead, he was expelled, although I understand that is being reviewed and, I hope, rescinded. First, what is this "zero tolerance policy?" C'mon, can't common sense be the policy????? Second, all things considered, what are the odds of this kid doing any damage? Yeah, Yeah...it only takes once. Well, if that's so, why do we continue to allow 16- and 17-year olds to drive? They are, beyond question, those most like to have and to cause auto accidents and, after all, it only takes once. Third, unless these Cub Scout gadgets have changed a great deal from when I was a kid, the damage this kid might have done could also have been done with a pen or pencil, the safety scissors, etc.

Just like the Michigan mom who was threatened with prosecution for watching her neighbors' kids for an hour until they caught the school bus...she wasn't a licensed day care provider, seriously!....

This is government run amok!!!! We'd better be careful. Federally-run health care????

Once we let the genie out of the bottle.... Perhaps we already have????
