I’d like to strangle whatever lib made up the term “Wellness”. That word drives me nuts for some reason and I see it everywhere now. I wish they all would just mind their own Wellness.

That's a word that should always strike fear in parents.

Over a quarter of a century ago, in my state, the state was trying to get a bill passed that would provide a "Home Health Visitor" to "ALL" (their caps) homes where there was a child age "0 to 18" ("0" = pregnant women).

The reason for "ALL" - "So as not to discriminate"

One of the rationales, in concern for the 'wellness' of the children, was to have ALL children seen by physicians of the states choice because (re family doctors) - "Doctors often fail to detect disease in well children."

Yes. Read that again.

This Home Health Visitor would also ascertain such things as the interactions of the parent and child, how clean the home was, what foods were in the house, ad nauseum...and the job qualifications for this all-knowing, all-seeing and total-control over the family "Visitor? "At least a high school education."

That proposed bill started my campaign against the state - we whipped them on that one, we went on to whip them on jailing parents for home schooling (our state is now one of the strongest in home schooling) we just kept whipping them...

But, of course, they come back year after year - they have they money to keep on...money out of our pockets.

But they continue to refer to OUR children thusly: "The children are the States greatest resource"

Be ever vigilant.
