While the idiots are at it maybe they should bust hot dogs as well. A friend of mine daughter choked to death on a hot dog right in front of her father and he was helpless in preventing her death. This just proves that the government is being over zelous in trying to protect everybody from everything. God when will we get some smart people in charge of things. I can tell you this if we do not get things squared away in virtualy every aspect of the Federal Government we as a nation are doomed. I do not have much faith that we can turn the tide as there are just too many idiots in charge.

I would feel like a dumbass personally. It's worth watching your toddler more closely.

That is just damn sad right there.

The Feds got better things to do than raiding candy stores, secure the southern border is one of them!

I said I don't condone it. If I had my way our system would be uncontrolled capitalism. Or maybe put you libertarians in charge. But that isn't an option. If I were in charge, this wouldn't happen. But I'm not in charge. I only understand what the people who are in charge thought when they let this happen.
