nanny state in reverse pinnnnggggg

GOOD. It's about danged time.

Many may not like my attitude, but too bloody bad, I'm sick and tired of the pathetics who are in the minority dictating the lives of the rest of us.

I tend to agree on this matter.

Uh oh, at the risk of being flamed. I have to agree, we are all responsible for ourselves and our children and (thanks to lawyers) the school does not want to be held liable.

Thanks for the ping, Gabz.

It is unfortunate that people have allergies, but I shouldn’t have to adjust my life to accommodate their problem.

Some are blind; should all newspapers be written in braille?

To: Gabz; All; anyone

This might be fun for kicks and giggles to argue the “other” side of the nanny state argument for a change.

My daughter has severe peanut allergies. (must insert this to play the liberal role of unassailable “victim”) It’s really not a joke. Nobody has ever died after being exposed to SHS, but people who are allergic to peanuts have died instantly after being exposed. No junk science there. They didn’t die 50 years later, they died on the spot.

Having said that, I’m not sitting around bitching and moaning. The first thing we did is send our daughter to a PRIVATE CATHOLIC SCHOOL that has banned peanuts. We went out of our way to find one.

Secondly, she has to know what to do and what to avoid. The Gubmint can’t protect her everywhere. She might be at a ballgame or in the park and smell roasted nuts from a vendor. When she is older, she will know how to use the Epipen herself. In the meantime, we make sure the teachers are trained in how to use it.

I'm with you!  If a kid is allergic to peanuts, why punish the whole bloody school?
