trollollolollo ... one can never tell via plain text. I suppose I should have elaborated on the distinction between Child and State. Evidently, confusion exists on limits the former should govern with and how the latter needs governing (and yes, at times by the former). Now we're going to get the CPS nuts about their kids being carried away in black vans; but that's not where I'm going. I'm laying the claim that 'developing children' need to have a certain amount of 'oversight and governance' in their lives. I'm happy knowing various governmental and non- are monitoring the milk my son drinks so it doesn't contain large doses of melamine (for instance).
