So You Think You Want Politicians And Unelected
Beaurecrats Appointed By Them To Run Your Lives
February 28, 2020
I am for anything that helps the average person maintain good health and get a good education as cheaply as possible. I have no idea what the best way to do so is, but in saying that I believe everyday people, if they apply themselves to thinking creatively and being willing to discuss new and innovative ways of doing things, will find ways of accomplishing those objectives.

One thing I am certain of however, is handing responsibility for accomplishing these things to government and unelected bureaucrats is a recipe for disaster.

The linked articles discuss the fact that school boards can make decisions about your children's' futures without discussing them with you or disclosing them to you, and all they have to do is rely on the instructions of your child. Canada is passing laws to make it illegal to provide this information to you.  So do you want to elect people that will separate you from your children's guidance and in so doing make it clear to your children that they consider you to be inferior to them or not qualified to judge what is best for your children? It is important to note that these laws and behaviors are not made by communist states, they are made by states with liberal, leaning socialist, behaviors.  These are people like Hillary Clinton that declare the majority, almost 70 %, of the population to be deplorable, or the people Mike Bloomberg suggested are responsible for their own demise being caused by technology and outsourcing because they are not educated enough.

The young people supporting the rise of Bernie Sanders seem to believe somehow people like Sanders will put governments in place that will take care of them from cradle to grave.  Unfortunately that idea is wrong. I like the idea of a nonprofit version of health care competing with the private sectors, run by cooperatives or some other entity, with incentives for those running them to compete effectively with the private sector to force down costs.  And education can certainly be made more cost effective, without resorting to the landlocked only options today that cost a lot more to operate. 

The reason for supporting these ideas is so that you can have more time and a freer mind to look for ways to help yourself with small businesses, and other ways to get independence from LARGE corporations influencing society in destructive ways.  There is also zero benefit to having nanny state bureaucrats running things and enshrining their ideas with laws that make them extremely difficult or impossible to change. The moment anyone has to enshrine anticompetitive behaviors in law you know there could be a serious problem.  If the ideas are that beneficial to everyone, look into why they were made into a law? Nothing should be permanently cast in stone, and everything should be subject to change.  Even what look to be good ideas at the time.  Not recognizing the need to change everything from time to time so that new ideas can be tried is how we got into the mess the nations are in.

While their conduct applies to gender choices in this discussion at the moment, once the Nanny State gets away with this interference in your lives and those of your children, there will be no stopping their interference in other areas they deem themselves to be smarter than you.
 And this is only one of many cases in which the nanny state will seek to divide and destroy your family and your individuality so that they can control your lives and those of your children.

Anything Goes:  Forget Logic

If you are looking for sound reasons to support individualism as opposed to following the dictates of the Nanny State, this is what one of the smartest guys in the world, Richard Feynman, had to say about it:

"Don't pay attention to "authorities," think for yourself."

"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts."

"Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible."

So think long and hard about giving up your right to choose to anyone deciding they know best what is right for your children and your lives, especially if they can pass laws to make your objecting to their interference illegal.
