I also notice there are obese people in the world who eat nothing but fast food. Ah Ha!! We should just ban all restaurants who's nutritional content is not up to government standards. While we're at it, how about a mandatory exercise program for all citizens? I know a couple people who just don't exercise at all.
Where else can we make things better?? Oh!! I got it. I hear on the news every night that people are killing other people with guns. Let's ban all guns from the populace!! That'll solve the problem...

well, the first one is almost happening (hello, Patriot act). So I assume you want that dealt with too?
For number two, yes, exercise should be mandatory in school. Real exercise. And some sort of military/social service should be also.
As for number 3, that is just silly. We all know bullets kill people, not guns
Look, I was trying to make a point. You just don't agree with the sentiment. That's fine. But perhaps you don't think racism, sexism and unfairness are issues in our society. I do. If you do think they are issues, you think that parents are capable of addressing all the issues at home. From my anecdotal evidence (and some of the comments on this board) I do not. So we agree to disagree...
