Is it the government's business to know who we love? Is it their
business to know what we eat? I say no. Here is my list of things
the government should stay out of.
Get out of my Business "G"-man: My list:
1) Education: What a child learns is
up to the parents. Sure they can send their kids to school, but that is
their decision, in the same way it is their decision to homeschool their child
or give them a religious education. As such, any form of education is
allowable including religious. So long as the kids grow up healthy, and
are able to fend for themselves, there is no reason for the government to be involved.
2) The Bedroom: For years the government
has poked its nose into people's business in the confines of the home to strike
at gays, and other people for their "sexual practices" or fetishes.
But that has got nothing to do with the government if the adults involved
are consenting.
3) Marriage: Love is not something a
government bureaucrats can license. As such, you do not need a marriage
license to be married in the first place. So cut the crap and stay out of
people’s love life government.
4) Medicine: With Obama Care, all of
our medical data is capable of being looked at. They decide what is
covered and what is not when government is involved. And the insurance
companies use that to their advantage. We are blocked from buying health
care across State lines, and even across country borders. Where is our
freedom to buy into the health services we want, and get the medicine covered
that we need? That’s right, the government is blocking the way, so they
again need to butt out.
5) Food: So it is now some dummies job in
government to protect us from too much salt in our diet. It’s their
"job" to tell us not to drink sugary drinks? I can understand
if you are on welfare for that is not your money but the governments, but
telling everyone else they can't have a soda of a certain size, or add a little
extra salt. Give me a break. We should be able to eat whatever we
want, so butt out government.
6) Drugs: Umm, the drug war?
Yea, we lost. It eats up money and makes people into criminals. On
top of that, some of those drugs if researched can lead to cures and drugs with
less side effects. Also, let us not forget prescription drugs. If
you do not have a prescription, you cannot get (potentially) the medicine that
you need. So we should be able to buy any Rx that we want as well, but
government does not want that for some reason. They do not want you
asking the pharmacist if they can use other medicines without permission.
They do not want doctors to prescribe what they don't want you taking
thanks to the FDA and their rules and regs on how long drugs can be on the
market, and which ones can be sold. But last I checked, it is our health
in jeopardy. Our wallets that pay. It is our decision on what to do
with our bodies, so government, get out of my darn way.
Conclusion: As you can tell, the government interferes
a lot. Sure some of these you may disagree with, but unless you are
hurting someone else, is it our business to worry about others? The
answer is no, whether we like it or not. But it is something we must live
with. So at the very least, on the ones we agree on, let's kick the
government to the curb.
