Without government regulation and the unions, we'd still have child labor and sweat shops in this country. It isn't being owned for the government to step in if business gets too abusive.


Children should be able to be employed. Anyway taking any extra I may have and forcing me agaisnt my will to give it to someone else is slavery.

So really you just want to trade owners.

Honestly, I'd rathe be a slave to the government (over which I have some level of control through the ballot) than to a corporation (over which I have no control).

But where does it end? Dental exams today, what about tomorrow? By the time my girls are teenagers, will they be forced to show proof of birth control before entering public school? At some point we have to draw a line. If we don't, the balance between government and freedom will be compromised. I think in some cases it already has.

The solution to finding balance is not to throw out balance completely.

And I will go ahead and work to avoid both.

Here we have that "compassionate" conservatism at work.

Requiring dental exams is not balance.
Especially for those with dentures. Maybe you could achieve balance by searching out a podiatrist that also practices oral surgury. It would be a one stop for removing a foot from a mouth.

I think the politicians could use this service more than the school systems!:laugh:

Besides the fact that government is once again intruding on our parental duties, I question the validity of a state approved dental exam. Our kids had a dental "exam" at their year physical. It consisted of opening their mouth and saying, "Ahhh!". Yeah, I'll be taking them to a real dentist, thank you.

love,

It probably is a matter of general dental health. A dental exam for the purposes of determing severe neglect is not that difficult.
