Looks like WE are the police state here...

Candy Ban

I love the fact that the kid selling the candy was acting secretive. I mean now we push candy into the underworld what is next the same kid selling booze or crack in school?
LUVMB, that ban is actually state-wide here. Our politicians know better than we do. No more cupcakes or donut holes for birthday mini-celebrations either and all soda machines have been removed. My two oldest kids are wiry, over active dynamos who could frankly use a little fat on their bones (even though they amaze me with how much they eat). I really want to send them into school with Coke, Doritos and a Snickers for snack but the wife won't let me.

Oh, and welcome back Ernesto!
