Oh the wonders of todays society. The interactions, it's exquisite complication, it's wondrous evolution, it's complete lack of anything vaguely resembling intelligence what so EVER!
Oh, why you ask? Why has society yet again sent me off on a wild tangent? Well, allow me to 'splain. But first, I do want to say that my opinions are mine alone. They are not directed at any one individual, nor any single group of people (well, maybe one group). But as the title suggests, society as a whole.
It would seem that some kid a few years ago was still attempting to learn the concept of chewing and swallowing and in the process, offed himself on a hot dog. Now in his mother's infinite wisdom, oh I might add she's also a lawyer, decided that because her son died while miserably chewing up a hot dog, the rest of planet earth would more than likely benefit with little teeney tiney signs on my dogs, carrots, grapes whatever.... reminding me that eating these items pose the severely strong risk of KILLING YOU!
Really lawyer lady? Do you not have anything better to do with yourself than impose your self-righteous, guilt ridden "shoulda, coulda" rule onto everyone else. Look, the sad truth is, you let your 4 year old kid eat a hot dog. Being the fact he choked, tells me he wasn't being supervised - Mom; and that somehow it's now the damn hot dog's fault for checking him out. Even better yet, a label indicating that this evil piece of processed meat can kill you will make everything better.
Now, I promised myself that I wasn't going to go on and on about this so I will just say, we don't need any damn labels, we don't need warnings, no public service announcements, grief counselors, child proof containers, child safety helmets or any of that other nonsensicle N-n-n----NONSENSE!
Be friggin' parents. Watch your kids, if they get hurt, it's alright. It's a part of growing up. If they somehow die? Well, not the bicycles bad, not the guns' bad, not the hot dog's bad. It's the parents bad. Period. Wise up folks, you want kids, take some responsibility. Use common sense. Trust me, it's contagious.
- That's all I have to say about that
