Let's Give Our Kids to Congress to Raise...

I join with Neal Boortz, radio talk show host, in saying "Give me a freakin' break." On Neal's Nuze today is a story about a Republican from Utah who wants restaurants to build a barrier so bartenders and alcohol cannot be seen by children in the restaurants. http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2009/01/dont-let-the-children-see-alco.html http://boortz.com/blogging/mt-tb.cgi/17344

It is so tiring for government officials to keep trying to take on parenting roles and remove those roles from parents! Maybe we should all go to Congress and drop off all our kids. We could tell the legislators that if they want to parent our kids, here they are! I wonder how quick some of this legislation would go away?

In this time of bad economy and war, don't they have bigger fish to fry? They need to stop dealing with these petty issues and actually deal with the hard issues thay they have spent the past year avoiding.

Parents should be the ones who teach their children about alcohol. Parents should explain about drinking, especially underage drinking. Parents should institute and enforce their own rules about said alcohol. And if parents don't want their kids to see alcohol, they should only eat in restaurants that do not serve it.

It is up to parents, not the government!

Pat - Thanks for stopping by The Diva of Tiny Foods - you commented about 2 minutes after I posted the new recipe for Savory Cheesecake!

I agree - our government has no business poking their nose into the raising of our children. However, I believe they are only responding to those parents who want to hand that responsibility over to someone else! I always say you get the government you deserve and politicians are quick to hop on any bandwagon that will get them votes!

As for putting up a barrier to block the bar and bartenders from children's views - gee, parents, why don't you take your children to restaurants without bars altogether instead???

I do like the idea of dropping all the kids off at Congress - in fact, I'd go further and suggest our kids run Congress. They couldn't do much worse, could they? LOL.
