I still have Huntington on the long term move plans possibly. That's why I check in. I liked the city, it just needs some more technological jobs I think.

I was never fat, nor were most of my friends. It's a simple solution really that in no way involves that evil government...take away the video games, get the kids outside and cook healthier food at home.

I did not say it was the Government fault that our children are fat what I did say was

Did everyone notice that Jamie's largest issue and those shared by the school employees was not how terrible Jamie is, nor the cooks, but the government red tape involved in every single decision. I felt so bad for the lady in charge of the school lunch program. Each and every word was "government requirement".

What it is and what I stated was the government red tape involved in every single decision and directive that was suggested.

See I will make compliments as your last sentence makes great sense mainly the part about cooking healthier food at home. See in your local home you can make this choice the same thing that Jamie and the school director was trying to do in their local system, but thanks to Federal red tape they cannot do that.

Government of the rule of law is not Evil, however over reaching government empowerment over the local legislative is not good for anyone. When Huntington for example must run to Charleston, who must run to Washington, who must have a legislative group think then what does that provide?
