Tim,
There would be more room if your sig weren't so long. :->
Guys with short dicks use long sigs.
As you know, every year there are a certain number of child deaths as a result of reactions to state-mandated innoculations/vaccinations. Gone too?
Perhaps the difference, or rationale, here is the possible spread of disease to others, rather than trying to protect the individual from himself.
Suppose X chooses to innoculate their kids and Y chooses not to innoculate their kids against, say, polio; and Y's kids get it. They're not going to give it to someone whose parents chose to innoculate them. (This is a kind of borderline example, not unlike circumcision. The individual affected by the choice is too young to understand what it's all about, but doesn't want to be stuck with a needle. Why are the parents more qualified to make decisions for him than the state?)
The issue of who is more qualified is irrelevent. The parents are the ONLY ones who have a right to determin the welfare of their childern. If the parents determin that the risks of reaction to the innoculation outways the benifits that choice is their's and their's alone. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
