America Is Built On Freedoms

Mike Strobel of the Toronto Sun had online article about Suzanne Somers' recent facial changes. From there he drifted off into general commentary about cosmetic surgery using a line I think I will use from time to time.

I read numerous print and online articles and forums. Rarely mentioned in the print media but brought up very often, especially in the past four or five years, is the physical appearance of politicians and anyone in the public eye. Forums in particular can become very nasty talking about a politician's ears, nose, belly, tan, etc.

I guess some of it is a result of the appearance editorial cartoonists have always used to exaggerate politicians' physical features. I've noticed a trend of judging public political hopefuls by their appearance has grown stronger in recent years.

Are Hollywood guidelines for a successful movie being used to determine who our political leaders will be? Must the male be tall blue-eyed tanned and muscular specimen with gleaming even teeth? Should the female be a Charlie's Angel double?

I think I may have an opportunity to make frequent use of Mike Strobel's comment: "America is built on freedoms - of speech, religion, press, assembly, AK-47s and your face."

Maybe 'to be rude' should be there too.

Republican Lawmaker: Do Away With Driver’s Licenses

A Republican in Georgia’s House of Representatives has introduced a bill to eliminate driver’s licenses, arguing that the documents are an unnecessary infringement on personal freedom.

Rep. Bobby Franklin, who represents the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, defended the bill to skeptical reporters on Monday, who questioned whether it would be a good idea to eliminate oversight of Georgia’s drivers.

“One of your inalienable rights is the right to travel, the right to move about without needing your papers,” Franklin told WSB in Atlanta. “You shouldn’t have to have permission from the state to exercise a right that has been inalienably given to you from your creator.”

This legislator is one of the Tea Party favorites. He has introduced bills to require all taxes in Georgia be paid with gold, prohibit mandatory vaccinations, abolish the state income tax, and criminalize abortions.
