Quote:For one, I do not wish a McCarthyist or an authoritarian government which can override parental judgement at any time and take away kids from their parents at the government's whim.
I'm not sure whether that is your intent or not, but if that is in response to my earlier point, I think that you have, to put it nicely, made a caricature of my point. Setting reasonable limits on what constitutes child abuse/neglect is not McCarthyism.
Not to mention that this:
Quote:The governement's power over our lives should be limited, and not extended, especially over family domain.
...is simply propaganda; it has no content.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
