Fatties
The state of Massachusetts takes another wobbly, drunken step toward Huxley-esqe Child Conditioning Centers:
Hell, just start calling the fat kids Epsilons Minus and have done.
Why, you may ask, are these loons doing this? It's simple, really:
Finds out...? That their kid is fat?! I'm pretty sure they can see that. Then again, considering the two clowns whom the people of Massachusetts have consistently voted into the Senate for the last several decades, maybe not.
Do not misconstrue my sarcasm; there is a thread of seriousness here. A great many liberals and self-anointed social engineers in this country are not in the least repelled by Huxley's dystopian vision. Indeed, many see it as Utopian in its basic concept -- a world view which I find frightening beyond my ability to express. Initiatives like this are nothing less than a form of social incrementalism -- targeted if not deliberately then at least implicitly toward that dimly-realized but very serious goal. Remember Hillary "It Takes A Village" Clinton.
Traditional family values, self-dependence, nationalism... these things are anathema to the modern liberal. If they can direct you how to feed your kid, then how big a jump is it to telling you when your children are old enough to ride a bike, which toys you can buy them and what church you can take them to? Eventually, it'll be easier to start setting up state-run creches and cut the parents out of the indoctrination loop entirely.
Don't confuse apparent political idiocy with a lack of long-range goals. These people are a menace to everything the Republic (may it rest in peace) was founded upon. They've already managed to successfully spoon it into the mouths (pardon the weak pun) of nearly the entire population of Massachusetts. To wit:
In other words, the majority of Massachusetts parents appear to want this... they just don't want to pay for it.
If that doesn't scare five years off your life, I'm afraid you don't quite comprehend the depth of the quicksand.
Starting in the fall, public schools across Massachusetts will send reports home to parents alerting them if their child weighs too much or too little - the centerpiece of a campaign to shrink bulging waistlines and halt obesity-related diseases once rare in children.
Hell, just start calling the fat kids Epsilons Minus and have done.
Why, you may ask, are these loons doing this? It's simple, really:
"This helps us make sure the most important person in that child's life finds out."

"Our list-serve has been going off the hook here about this," said Glenn Koocher, executive director of the school committee group, who counted 22 messages in two hours. "Everyone is concerned about obese children, obviously. But the general concern on the list-serve is around cost, around another unfunded mandate."

If the so called most important person in the child’s life has not notice said condition then maybe the village should tar and feather the idiots who are responsible for the pudgy little tyke. The idiots should have taken the Playstation, Nintendo, Wii, etc. away from the fat kid.
I am not saying to completely remove it from the household, they should regulate it (not via the Senate or Congress) they are the Parents, and yes, I have a Wii that my little ones play no more than 2.5 hours a week in the winter. Then in the spring, summer and fall it is put away so they can play OUTSIDE!
Oh…… the big bad outdoors where they can run, play, explore, and yes from time to time injure themselves. That is apart of the learning process and growing up.
In closing I do feel the seriousness of the situation; my poor kids will be outcast for being taught traditional family values, self-dependence, and nationalism. But then again no one will have the nerve to confront them, because they will whoop that liberal whinny ass. Apart of the self-dependence we hold to dearly includes training in self defense.
Wax on... wax off.
I was listening to a radio commentator who made the statement that liberals really DON'T want you to have choice. Ask any of them about choice and freedom and then get them off the topic of abortion and they want to control every aspect of your life.
They want to tell you what you can drive(a hybrid) Where you can live(in a small 1000 sqft eco-friendly town-home within walking distance of work) What you can put in your body(no cigarettes, fats, or meats, or beer...wine is ok since it is an approved elitist drink) Who you can hire, and what you can do with your own property.
All of this they will point to is actually "better" for you. A benevolent Dictator is still a dictator.
Personally, I think Freedom scares the crap out of them. In a free society, you have to take personal responsibility for your choices and actions. There is no one to blame but yourself if you are poor or don't succeed. In a socialist society the decisions are made for you. Success and failure are removed from the equation, you just are. I think they all want to be a little kid again and let Mommy and Daddy make all the tough choices, only the parent is some bureaucrat in some far off government office that could give a crap if you are happy or not. They are willing to trade freedom for the security of a "job" they can't lose, adequate housing and just enough extra money so they don't have to eat dog food. Happiness? Well, that comes from the knowledge that everyone is in the same boat as you (except for the elites running everything, who get all the good stuff without having to rub elbows with the Proletariat)
