France moves to ban child beauty pageants

[lizbud]

Why ban something every time someone doesn't like it?

Can you say "overly intrusive government"?

I knew you could.

Don't like the contests? Don't attend them, don't watch them on TV.

No audience, no money, they go bye bye.

People need to stop looking to the government to solve niggling problems. It distracts from the real issues.

Who decides what the "real issues" are? If enough people speak out for or against something does it then become an "issue" in need of guide lines?

"Real" issues?

In the United States, the Constitution makes the scope of Federal powers fairly clear. War, the economy, little things like that.

The federal government should have bigger fish to fry than deciding if kids should wear dresses on a runway. Maybe figure out the deficit for a start like they're Constitutionally obligated to, rather than constantly wasting time on minor issues?
