More and more the central and local bureaucrats have decided that they are smarter than you. Therefore, they enact laws to protect you from yourself because well, you’re just too dumb to take care of yourself.
Your freedom is being taken away in small increments but perhaps you were just busy and haven’t noticed.
In Chicago one school principal has outlawed children from bringing lunch from home. No more brown sacks as you’re too inept to feed your own kids. He knows better! But some folks didn’t notice:
---
“Lookie there, Maw. Them stars are dancing real good on the television. Ain’t that something?
“Mom, Dad, the principal said I can’t bring lunch from home no more.”
“Sure dear, whatever. Sit down and watch TV. Look, that’s some real fancy twirling.”

In another township I read that they passed a law that children cannot play unsupervised by an adult. That’s right. You have to follow them around all day lest they build a fort or climb a tree, strictly forbidden in P.C. America:
---
“Honey, they passed this new law that says I can’t let the kids play alone! I can’t spend all day supervising them I have a million things I must do here at the house.”
“Not now, the Packers are moving the ball, just do whatever. I’m sure you will figure something out.”
‘Really, thanks a lot, I don’t know what to do, we can’t afford fines because the kids are playing alone. That’s ridiculous.”
“Boo, Boo. Bad call ref. He wasn’t holding!”

I often watch ‘Cops’ the T V show as they stop adults on bicycles and issue them tickets for no helmet and reflective clothing, as if they were six years old! Then, to make matters worse they make them walk their bike home as it is too dangerous to ride.
Who cares? You don’t ride a bike and besides, Jerry Springer is about to start.
A township in New York has outlawed barber shop poles that spin because you will be so mesmerized by this distraction you will drive off the road mowing down helpless pedestrians. That had never actually happened but it could, so the local big shots are protecting you from each other.
Ooh hurry turn on Oprah, the ghost whisperer is coming on, or…
You could attend civic meetings and get involved taking a stand to stop the tyranny; however… that may interfere with Judge Judy!
