Her precious peanut butter and jelly sandwich someone called it.
But see to me it is precious. Not because it is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or that it is her favorite thing to eat. But because it goes deeper than that.
Yesterday it was the peanut butter and jelly sandwich banned.
Today its the doughnuts at the senior citizen center. Too many carbs and fat and sugar you know and not good for their cholesterol.
I already cant pray out loud anywhere in public.(Not if you
are Christian anyway.) Geesh God is being erased from buildings and documents as we speak. People can trash my religion and I have no right to defend it or I am labled ignorant and intolerant.
People can trash my country and its laws and I have no right to defend it or I am labeled a racist and a bigot. I have to read Spanish as I enter and exit buildings,
and have you seen instructions for anything lately? forget it! It takes 15 minutes just to find where the English part is. I already have to push 1 for English.
Who knows what it will be tomorrow. Will I still be able to wear my favorite perfume because I might unwittingly offend someone thats allergic to perfumes? Or will it be in the not
so distant future when we are told that that we MUST have insurance and what insurance to have, or face a penalty? Or when will they begin to tell us we have to go this doctor or that doctor,and when we have to go and what information he will share with whomever? And when they have chipped away at it, starting with seemingly harmless bans, will guns be next? Well, we can safely say they are already trying that too.
We cant simply pick and choose ..one from column A and two from column B, for the freedoms we are willing to just give away. Because before you know it, there will only be column A and that wont have that many choices on it.
Where and when do we draw the line?
A precious peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
You darn right it is.
