There's something very Orwellian about this proposal, and to have it imposed by a Republican governor in one of our most conservative states is scary. What next, Governor Perry unveils mandatory diets for all Texans to fight obesity?

No, that's the governor of Arkansas who wants to do that.

If that will SAVE LIVES, especially the LIVES of CHILDREN then absolutely we should do it!











(that's sarcasm, by the way....in an earlier era at FR that wouldn't need to be explained but now, you gotta be careful around here)

Perry was a Democrat back in the '80s, so don't put too much faith into labels. A friend is convinced that Perry is working to turn Texas back into a Democrat state by pissing off Conservatives and driving them away from the state GOP. He may very well be right about that.
