Just make the call, donOld. You said that it would be so easy, just a phone call. I’d be able to get this stopped in one day. I’m sure that you’ve never had a glimmer of a chance unless you actually grow a pair.

This is so darkly accurate
HOW ANTIVAXXERS SOUND TO THE REST OF US G Gordon Scott I once almost choked to death while eating food. I did my own research and discovered that I am not alone. Thousands of people choke every year while eating, and hundreds of those people die. Thats why I don't feed my kids. Its dangerous. Now plenty of people will point out that food supposedly "prevents starvation," and that might be true, but Its not fair to completely ignore all the dangers food poses, like choking, allergies, gingivitis, and garlic breath. I'm just saying, do your own research and decide what you think is best for your kids. If you choose to give your kids potentially deadly food, thats your problem, but as a parent, I don't think the government has any right to tell me that I need to feed my kids.
