Who do you support for Governor in Tennessee in 2010?

Top 10 Most Egregious Government Regulations.[#10] Multicultural doll mandate: The Colorado Department of Human Services is proposing new rules to require all day care centers in the state to have dolls available that represent the three different races. The guideline is part of a 98-page document that sets new rules for child care that include what kids can drink, how long they can watch TV, and mandates for field trips and sunscreen use. One wonders how the state, which has been working on the measure since 2006, will go about enforcing the law.
Tobacco-style food regulations? The federal government has a growing interest in the eating habits of Americans for the same reason it has an interest in tobacco consumption, said Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. The reason is money, because three-quarters of medical-spending is driven by chronic diseases, such as obesity and tobacco-related diseases, she said.
I Don't Care If You're Fat. I don't care if you're fat. I don't care if your kids are fat. It's none of my business. If you want to lose some weight, be my guest. Or, like Michelle Obama, if you just want to have a juicy hamburger, some fries, and a chocolate shake, that's fine, too.... I don't care. It is none of my business if you're fat. It is surely not the government's business if you're fat.
Feds want us to live like children. We spend the first part of our lives trying to grow up, and, apparently, millions of us spend the rest of our lives hoping to live like children. How else to explain the desire to "save" Social Security and Medicare? Since 1935 for Social Security and 1965 for Medicare, older Americans have expected government to take care of them, as if they are children incapable of taking care of themselves. Nanny state, indeed.
Emergency Alert System to Be Announced in NYC. A new national emergency alert system that will send messages to cell phones during disasters will be launched in New York City by the end of the year.
Emergency alert system set to launch. If you get an urgent message on your cell phone from President Obama later this year, it's not a prank. Under a new emergency notification system being announced tomorrow by Mayor Bloomberg and federal officials, anyone carrying an "enabled" mobile device within range of a cell phone tower would be alerted what to do in case of emergency.
Washington Invents an Anti-Bullying Law. There's no federal law against bullying or homophobia. So the Department of Education recently decided to invent one.
No need to vote on this — the mayor knows what's best for you. Menino Bans Sugary Drink Sales On Boston City Property. Mayor Tom Menino issued an executive order to ban the sale of sugary drinks on Boston city property on Thursday. "I want to make this a healthier choice, the easier choice in people's daily lives, whether it's the schools, the work sites or other places in the community," Menino said.
Menino expands sugary drink ban. Mayor Thomas M. Menino said yesterday [4/7/2011] that he is expanding his ban on sugar-sweetened drinks in schools to include all city properties and functions, a sweeping restriction that means that calorie-laden soft drinks, juices with added sugar, and sports drinks like Gatorade will no longer be offered in vending machines, concession stands, and city-run meetings, programs and events.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino KOs Soda, OKs Alcohol. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has banned soda, sports drinks and sweetened ice teas from city property, according to a recent government press release. In an attempt to reduce the city's rising obesity rates, Menino has banned all sugary drinks from city vending machines, cafeterias and concession stands, just one day after reaching an agreement with the Boston Red Sox that allows the team to sell mixed drinks at its ballpark.

School Lunch Madness. About one third of American kids are now overweight, and poorer children are the most likely to be in that category. So, educators are correct to be concerned about the nutritional welfare of their students. Every school should be encouraging good health, right? But forcing parents to buy school food is going too far. This is nanny state stuff. I know that under President Obama the nation is heading in that direction, but it is now time to pause and smell the meatloaf.

Our tax dollars at mealtime. How did our ancestors survive without the government telling them what and how to eat?

Feds lead charge for alcohol detector. A quick-check alcohol detector designed to stop drunks from driving off was hailed yesterday [1/28/2011] by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood as a jump forward in the war against drunken driving, while also raising concerns about nanny-state intrusions.

When Agencies Rule Our Lives. Am I the only one becoming increasingly concerned about the amount of power federal agencies have over every aspect of our lives? Everywhere we turn it seems some agency is telling Americans what they can and can't do, whether it's the health care we need, the technology we use, the financial decisions we make, the food we eat or the air we breathe.

It takes a vittle: First lady engineers government takeover of children's food. The Obama administration is committed to bringing more government into the lives of Americans. First lady Michelle Obama grabbed the spotlight Monday at the District's Harriet Tubman Elementary School to promote an anti-obesity initiative in service of this goal. She seeks to shift responsibility for feeding America's children away from parents and into the hands of Washington bureaucrats. Declaring childhood breakfast, lunch and dinner menu options an issue of national security, Mrs. Obama asserted, "We can't just leave it up to the parents."

Michelle's free lunch: This free lunch bill, is not quite the free lunch it appears to be; it is paid for by reductions in funding for food stamps where people can actually select what food to buy for their kids, say potatoes or potato chips, in their food desserts. And why do so many kids get "half their daily calories from school meals"? This is another area of responsibility removed from the parent(s) and handed over to the government; parents don't even have to make their kids lunch to take to school.

Should We Ban Walking While Wired? You've had the experience of walking along and negotiating around someone who is walking slowly, weaving, or bumping into other pedestrians for an obvious reason: He or she is talking on a cell phone, listening to an iPod, or texting on a Blackberry. And you've had the natural, inevitable response to this annoyance: demanding a law to prevent it.

Distracted while strolling. I'm too old to need a crossing guard to look after me at public intersections, and if I did, I wouldn't pick New York state senator Carl Kruger (D-Brooklyn) to do the job. Kruger's the guy who wants to ban "distracted walking" by pedestrians on public roadways. According to The New York Times, the bill he's introduced in Albany "would ban the use of mobile phones, iPods or other electronic devices while crossing streets."

Pennsylvania builders unhappy with state-imposed sprinkler mandate. While many Pennsylvanians celebrated the arrival of 2011 on New Year's Eve, home builders in the state likely did not blow their bugles and pop their poppers with quite as much exuberance. That is because this year marks the beginning of a new government mandate in Pennsylvania requiring that all new one- and two-family homes have an automatic fire sprinkler system — a feature that costs thousands of dollars.

war is peace and peace is war.....

the only way to keep people even remotely interested in the fact that they are being governed at all, is to keep them at war with someone at all times......

In every case where ive gotten too far intom the bile, all I had to do was take the high ground to improve the situation.

Sorry but I don't need the govt telling what to eat, what to drive, that I have to wear a helmet, that I have to wear a seat belt, what size soda I can drink, how much butter I an put on my popcorn, what I can or cannot put into my body.
When and where I can speak my mind, where I can walk, what I can or cannot do. I don't need a govt to tax me on everything I am SUPPOSED to already OWN. I worked my ass off and paid for it why the fvck should i have to still pay on it through taxes. it's like paying for the PRIVILEGE to have something.
What business is it of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's if merchants in New York City want to sell soft drinks in containers that hold more than 16 ounces, and if customers want to buy them?
What vital public purpose was served by banning food merchants from using trans fats in their wares?
What will be the compelling government interest if New York City decides to slap limits on the size of milkshakes or movie theater popcorn servings -- possibilities the food Gestapo, aka the New York City Board of Health, is mulling as it maps out further plans to force-feed the public its version of correct living?

DO YOU F***ING PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT OUR LIVES ARE BEING MICROMANAGED AT EVERY LEVEL?
If there is one thing we can all do without, it is an overreaching intrusive federal government which goes to great lengths to protect us from ourselves — at our expense. Nor do we need a micromanaging, nit-picking Big Brother to prohibit everything that isn't mandatory.
The U.S. government recently outlawed the incandescent bulb! The environmental lobbyists insist that we use fluorescent bulbs, whether we like them or not.
Apparently We're Too Stupid To Run Our Own Lives. A young mother I know recently said, "When I saw the president on TV telling us how to wash our hands, I knew this country was coming to an end. I'm 30 years old and I don't need the government to tell me how to wash up or what foods are good for me." For that matter, I told her, how about those light bulbs we're supposed to buy — the ones that are more expensive; made in China and require a hazmat team to clean up if they break?

LOL Yep...I was thinking about the "governor" on the lawn mower the other day. It will never allow the mower to reach it's full potential. "Thinking that people can't live without government, is like thinking animals can't live without farms."

Yesterday I was walking past my fireplace and heard this buzzing flapping noise and I'm thinking what if a drone got stuck in your chimney.
Would it legaly belong to me.Is possession still 9/10ths of the law?

I don't buy into micro chip in us theory YET. But I did just read about the vans.
