Chicken or egg?

Here’s a question for you similar to the unanswerable, ‘Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ The liberal, yuppie name for a child that discards tradition, common sense and saintly protection or the adult who becomes what her name represents as she grows up? Advocates for mandatory sprinkler systems in new homes are typical government-can-solve-all-problems nannies. They belong to groups like the Home Safety Council often working as non-profits. They want to help people who ‘deny risk’ and the possibility that something bad will happen to their families unless regulations are imposed by wiser souls. Inevitably they are feminists. They care not for the expense, cost effectiveness or financial hardship to persons or businesses by their protectionist agenda. They think and advocate in a vacuum, a Utopian bubble. They repulse me. Finally, they always sport names like the president of such a council, who probably spends more time in the gym and at whole foods than at home or in the real world. Meri-K Appy definitely is in the minority, a special, insane minority, but the damage she gladly does cannot be underestimated. Whichever came first, the child or adult Meri-K, it’s scary to consider.
