The New Black Lunchbox Patrol
I have seen this story posted in numerous places this week and every time I see it I flip-out. It has to be in the top 3 most egregious government intervention stories of the past year.
WTF is wrong with these people?
Yes, we’re all aware.
Has your blog got some new info or a unique perspective on this?
Maybe you should post that part here, so that no one needs to visit your blog.
Then excerpt the rest of the stuff we already knew.
“1-Adam 12, 1-Adam 12, we have a 439 in progress....child eating non-government approved lunch brought from home...all units please respond.”

I was going to say “Well, move out of California, then.” Until I found out it was NC. WHAT???!!!! *grrrr* I mean it’s bad enough if it _was_ California, even...
this better be a made-up story! Incredible!
People are told government at every level wants to control and regulate everything we do, and some drooling in cups are just unable to see it.
It’s become inordinately clear, those running government at all levels, are extremely controlling individuals.
I very much dislike those who attempt to control others.

One look in the garbage cans in these government approved cateterias will show half the government approved meals thrown away. I guess they will have to force feed the kids who refuse to eat all of the government “nutrition.”
Admin, a question.
What are the rules regarding blogpimping under two different screen names.
Especially by blogpimps that demand to be on the FR excerpt list but pimp their wares multiple times DAILY.
Should I double my monthly donations so accommodate the multiple identity multiple daily thread blogpimps? I can give up another meal per week if you like. Probably wouldn’t hurt.
Gee what if the kid was Muslim and was packing a halal food lunch? Would government food Nazis have forced the kid to eat infidel food? Would that be any different than mandating Catholic institutions provide insurance that pays for birth control or abortion???
As a student of the History of the republic not really. Almost the entire 20th Century has been a rush to consolidate power in DC. To achieve this the Constitution was twice amended - popular election of Senators and the Federal Income tax. There was only one amendment in the 20th century that put a curb on this centralization of power - the one that limited Presidents to two elected terms because FDR broke tradition and ran for the Presidency 4 times. Sorry but potentially 16 years in office effective makes the President a monarch regardless of orientation.
What we are seeing is the logical outgrowth of “Zero Tolerance” and “We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it”.
If I were “King for the Day” I would amend the Constitution to limit the size of all bills. They could be no longer that the Declaration of Independence. If the concepts behind the bill can not be articulated in a few words we probably don't need it.
I thought I would look at some of the local reporting on this story rather than what is put out by alarmist blogs. It sounds like the story here contains some elements that are true and others that are false or exaggerated.
