What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

In their effort to continue to gradually take over your life, a new bill has been introduced by the socialists in Washington, D.C. This particular legislation provides lots of new goodies for Big Brother. Specifically, it will require states to gather data on the body mass index (BMI) of all children ages 2-18.

Note that this is not a general average. It is the BMI of every child. Yes, that means your child's medical data will be available to both the state and federal government. What could possibly go wrong?

Ready for the end result? If this is put into effect, there will come a day that having a chubby child will bring charges of neglect and your being deemed an unfit parent. The government shall have no recourse but to take custody of your child. And of course, it will all be done for "the good of the children".

This is identical to all the 'speculated' fears which were near-panic-producing that were going to happen when communism took over. This was in the 50s, 60s, 70s - years of the cold war. Didn't happen and communism in the
USSR fell resulting in dropping of that fear, now not recognized by complacent, drowsy Americans. It's even more obvious and possible now with all the current terrestial signals allowing government a means TO obtain and store intimate information on everyone once impossible. The dangerous aspect is that now we are asleep to this reality, blind to how this is now so real and dangerous. Thanks for explaining this so clearly and concisely.
