In my daily journey of radio listening this morning, I heard something
to the effect that a student's BMI will be re****ted on his or her re****t
card as another weapon in the so called war on obesity. As usual, I place
myself firmly on the side of personal invasion of privacy. I'm not sure
where the original bill began; it may be a piece of state legislation or
perhaps a federal one. I'm adamantly opposed to such legislation as a
blanket solution. If zealots want that information on their personal
re****t
cards, then fine, but keep it off my kids' do***ents unless I request it
in
writing, and, that the final do***ent verifying my request is signed by
me.
You see, there's another twist in this perversion. Another news story
came on the heals of that one about how the US government was barking
about
how obesity was overtaking smoking as the leading cause of death in the
country. Well as it turns out, that ain't quite so. In fact, the stats
were
placed significantly higher than actual occurrence. Hmm, makes you wonder,
doesn't it? Who in the hell can you believe any more?!
I gotta tell ya, it's getting to the point where about the only one
I'll
believe is myself; and I know that's dangerous, but too bad! It's not that
I
don't care; rather it's that I want my liberties, period, end of
discussion!
Just my ***** for the day,
Mike
