[QUOTE="klmno, post: 529155, member: 3699"] What kills me about it all is that I grew up iin the era where people fought for civil rights- racial issues, women's rights, domestic issues, minorities in the workforce, getting required religious courses out of k-12 public schools, etc, only to end up a 50yo and see every darn one of them dwindling back down so much that now local government employees (sd, juvy POs, etc) are "allowed" to tell parents how to raise their kids. Excuse me- but isn't my tax money going to pay their salaries? Is anyone paying me to raise my kid? Not that I expect anyone to but darnit people, these local government employees are here to support the typical American family (which pays taxes to support that), not the other way around. in my humble opinion, and I'll stop after this so I don't risk board slapping- the state and local governments have secured too much power to do this koi- what happened to our federal laws that were supposed to prevent any local/state gov from intruding this much on how parents want to raise their kids and other civil rights? And WTH happened that my generation, who grew up in that era, ended up with adult kids who are now making and passing these laws when I can't fathom that "we" raised our kids to think this way? Who are these aliens that took over my country and WTH is voting for them? LOL! I'll just continue to advocate for people voting responsibly- at ALL levels of elections- don't pass any of them up, learn what people running for election intend to do, and vote for what you want to see not just for another buck in your pocket. This is what this country is about, in my humble opinion. Vote responsibly, campaign for good people running, run yourself if you can, etc. [/QUOTE]
