You just can't make shit like this up: Obama's Department of Labor is putting on the finishing touches of rules that would effectively ban kids from helping out on their families' farms, and may even be broad enough to ban kids from so much as watching their veterinarian parents work!

Why? This doesn't make any sense! Until you get to this part:
The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the government’s approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course.
In other words -- it's a blatant power grab! The federal government is deliberately reaching deeper into people's lives. Because everyone knows that Ma Fed always knows best -- even when she's letting grenades walk into Mexico!

The further the government reaches into people's lives, the more dependent upon the government the people become. The more dependent upon the government, the further they'll let it reach into their lives. It's a vicious cycle that must be broken if there's any hope that we'll retain the freedom our nation was originally built on!
