First, yesterday I'm skimming my Tennessee Libertarian Party newsletter as part of my usual morning routine and I see that a California man that brought a lawsuit against Kraft Foods, seeking to ban the sale of Oreo cookies because they contain trans fat Oreos! Oh no! Killer Oreo's everyone, look out! Even if Oreo cookies have "bad things" in them, I really don't want the government to decide what I can and can't eat. Thanks. Note to California psycho, if you don't like the cookies, don't buy them.

Secondly, this morning I'm skimming my Tennessee Libertarian Party newsletter as part of my usual morning routine and I see that an elementary school teacher is being criticized for sending a memo to her teachers suggesting that on National Prayer Day they "pray for the country, the world, the school district and every student and family it serves". The operative work is suggesting. So, the ACLU is considering legal action. Now I'm not the most religious guy in the world, and I don't think the government should sanction a particular religion. But this this is just silly. But the thing that bothers me most, is the hypocrisy of the ACLU and like organizations. They are willing to make a big stink over this, but did they bring a suit against the President of the United States when he invoked the name of God and asked us to pray for the troops in Iraq? Of course not, that would've been anti-American. But it's easy to attack a tiny school district in Sylvia Kansas and force them to spend dollars that could be used to educate their children on the defense of their principal.

Both these items go to show that people just aren't happy unless they are telling everyone else how to live. Me included. Hey everyone, this is how you should live: Get out of my face! I won't bother you and you don't bother me. Deal?
