Pandora's Casket

Is there a place that you would just love to visit but never think that you will go? I would love to go to Savannah, Georgia. Why you are asking yourself? For one thing I love the south and looking at the homes that were built years ago. Not to mention hte food. Yes, I am a lover of the southern delicacies that I have heard in Savannah is nearly the best with the restaurants that they have.

Now during the holiday season I spied one of the Trusted Tours and Attractions which makes visiting even more appealing. The Holly Jolly Holiday Trolley tour. It looks like it would be so much fun to do while visiting this city. The trolley tour takes you through the brightly lite city filled with lights galore. Transforming your tour into a lighted wonderland. There is caroling from the trolley also. How much fun would that be for you and your family?

What is really neat is that the tour is conducted by elves that will tell of the historical information in a merry, holiday way. Keeping the tour lively and filled with the holiday cheer! At the end of the tour, which sealed the deal with me is that you end up at the Savannah Candy Kitchen where you get a free sample of candy. We all love candy!

Better watch out on the way in which you discipline your children. In Boston there will be state talks on introducing a bill that prohibits spanking children by parents. That's right, parents will no longer be able to spank children no matter what or you could and probably would go to jail or be fined.

Hearing the woman that is presenting the bill talks I think she is completely dingy. Sorry. As she said, it is not meant for the over all parents that actually do not spank excessively but for the small per centage of parents that go to the point of abuse.

So, this bill is for a small percentage? The state steps in and says how we as parents can and WILL discipline our children. We have no options as thinking individuals? This is taken away by being punishable by law.

Now, I rarely if ever spank my children. I talk them to death where they have actually said they would rather have had a spanking than a lecture. Yes, that's right. But my point is, they are taking away the rights of parents that rarely if ever spank. No choices left at all putting the power into the children's hands. Parents will be at the mercy of the diabolical child that picks up the phone, goes to their school counselor stating they were spanked when they were not because they are pissed at being lectured or grounded.

How long will it be when they the state says we can no longer ground the children? Will they say it is abuse taking away their cell phones, land lines or inter net? Go ahead and laugh but it could happen.

Sounds much like communism to me. State telling us what and when to do it.

Sad state of affairs to me.
