					<description><![CDATA[The car seats law bothers me for the same reason that seat belt laws in general bother me: not the government&#039;s business, nor do they have the authority to MAKE it their business.

So yeah, those laws should be repealed.  They are outside the government&#039;s authority to have passed in the first place (and they aren&#039;t remotely the only ones).

					<description><![CDATA[Parents are ticketed or charged with child endangerment for not using car seats. Should that law be repealed? Where do you draw the line between a parent&#039;s freedom and the best interest of the child?

					<description><![CDATA[Actually, while not entirely practical (shortage of foster parents, etc), the regulations on foster parents is really quite reasonable.

The other thing is psychotic, of course.

					<description><![CDATA[Hurry with steps 1 through 3 above so that your suit can be filed prior to the advent of &quot;tobacco exclusions&quot; on insurance policies.

Not to worry however:

Step 4) sue insurance company - argue to invalidate  &quot;tobacco exclusions&quot; as against public policy, because, this is &quot;for the children&quot;.

Step 5) trying not to smirk, argue that insurance application forms asking whether anyone in the household is a smoker is an invasion of privacy and not a reasonable underwriting criteria - throw in  a few discrimination/red-lining allegations.

Step 6: Express shock and outrage when premiums escalate and become unaffordable to lower income familiies.  Accuse insurance companies of &quot;price gouging&quot;.  Call for price controls...

Step 7:  Apply for job with the John Edwards campaign.
