Well, let's start with the things I agree with. The patches on politicians, while I think I've head that one before is an AWESOME idea. I'd also like to see where every dollar came from and in fact I'd like to pay for all campaigns and not allow outside contributions at all. But that's another story and something that will never happen.
As for parents being reasonable for their kids, absolutely. I'm a teacher and I know what happens to kids when their parents don't do their job. I still like to think that many, if not most parents try and do a good job, although I'm having a harder and harder time convincing myself of that,
Does it take a village to raise a child? It might not if you have good parents, but if the parents are asshats, I'm thinking the child needs all the help he/she can get. I don't except that children should be left to their
devices if the parents aren't doing their jobs. Children are not property and they all deserve a safe and sane childhood.
All this being said, all I'm promoting is safer packaging on juice and as many have brought up, many venders already do this.I am more than willing to give up a modicum of my rights to make things a bit safer for kids whose parents lack common sense,
PS As to the bailouts, it's my understanding the auto manufacturer bailout went pretty well. I think much of the money has been payed back, the companies are doing better and there was a massive amount of people who would have been hurt if they were allowed to fail. It's not just the auto companies themselves, but all sorts of others in the area that would have been devastated. As for the banks, I'm not so pleased with that one.
