A place to live, or Boy Scout camp? The nanny state as nanny town.
I'm sorry, but I have an ingrained problem with government involvment in every facet of our lives. Whether it's learning closet organizational skills and baby yoga at the library or sex education in schools, I just believe it's too much. Why is it that our local property taxes, in addition to what we pay on the state and federal levels, have to be used to further the helplessness of individuals and families in our present day society?

Given this latest little tidbit from the Citizen, I have to wonder, did I move into a town to live and work, or did I simply end up where I was as a teenager: Boy Scout camp?
The Gilford Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring four fun snowshoe hikes geared specifically toward families. These hikes are designed to get families out into the woods and fields for some fun exercise and socialization.
"Fun exercise and SOCIALIZATION?!" I've got to believe our forefathers must be rolling in their graves over this stuff.

Oh, and what if you don't have snowshoes? In the olden days, before socialism showed up on the scene, an American would simply participate in the FREE MARKETPLACE and go to the store and BUY THEM. Not any more, reports the Citizen piece:
If you are in need of snowshoes, call ahead and shoes can be provided for the hike.
This is why we pay our local property taxes, taken under the threat of the loss of our homes? Once we are completely helpless and reliant on government for EVERYTHING, then what? Is there no end?
