Government. Again.

First up is that Blooming idiot mayor of NYC, who asserts that pushing healthy food is the highest responsibility of government. Second one is the mental health "professionals" pushing to add lithium to the drinking water supply.

The second one bothers me. Seriously, are they planning to try to overdose those who have it prescribed? If not, how are they going to avoid it? Say they reduce the doLinksage: what if the patient that needs it doesn't drink enough tap water to receive the dose they need? That doesn't even count the whole concern over their reasoning: that places with naturally high levels of lithium in the drinking water have lower incidences of violence and suicide. So, in other words, they want to drug the masses into somnolence, just like schools do the active kids (ADHD meds for kids that are bored by low expectations and easy work, anyone?).

And last, but not least, Topeka, KS, deciding that the place to save money is in refusing to prosecute domestic violence cases. Umm...what? You mean assault isn't a felony when it's assault committed on a spouse? Interesting. And revolting. The place to cut the city's budget is in the paychecks of useless bureaucrats: either cut salaries or cut positions.

That is all for this week, but I think that's enough.

Cancer can FTFO. Again. (A beloved cousin of a friend is fighting it now).

I'm also really done with the 20-something OWS crowd that act like everything should be given to them on a silver platter, NAOW, because they deserve it and, like, they just deserve it and it's not fair that there are some guys in their 50s who have all this stuff and they won't SHARE....Also the people who claim "college should be free for everyone" Yeah, and I guess electricity and heat and building upkeep don't cost anything, and professors don't need to eat or pay rent?
