Zero tolerance

I am assured that my country needs me because I found a disclaimer on my bottle of lemon juice saying that it contains 0 calories and 0 grams of trans fats. Perusing an aisle at the food store recently, I noticed that bottled waters contain an expiration date. By mandate, students with disabilities must be ‘educated’ and accommodated in mainstream public schools. Merely, these three instances of politically correct insanity prove that some Americans with power to initiate legislation, have been able to override reason and common sense and ignore the obvious. What is obvious, is that politicians never underestimate the stupidity of the people.

But why should other Americans, I for one, allow such collusion for the sake of political correctness? Rise up, I say, the only thing we have to loose or lose is the chains which bind us to chronic waste of our taxes - and our continued humiliation. A mentally handicapped child can intuit the fat or grease content of any food or drink; he or she realizes that water never goes stale. Also, a child with Down’s syndrome for example, can automatically be recognized as dissimilar to other children, worthy of human association with other children, but is disserviced by the same education as regular students.

Hurrahs to some parents who are now rising up against the failed policy of inclusion of the disabled into mainstream classrooms, demanding that they be cared for among kindred friends. Boos must go to complacent Americans who do not protest stupid labels printed on our consumer products. One down, one to go.
