Oy gevault ! I can hear the yenta's kvetching already.

I am very, very afraid that he is going to use his billions to run for
President in 2016 in order to try out his neurotic brand of
Progressivism on a national stage, because people are just stupid and
he and he alone knows how much you should eat, and what you should
eat, and what kind of house you should live in, and where you should
be able to live, and how much money you should be able to have. Never
mind that these rules don't apply to him and his one percent ilk.

I'm a liberal and even I think he's full of crap. He is consistent,
though. First he decided what the *correct* size drink for you was,
and then he started working on your portion size. I'm the first to
agree that we need to eat less, and eat better, and I'm not going to
tell anybody that washing down your 4,000 calorie lunch with half a
gallon of Cherry Coke is a good idea. But having some stupid lout of a
politician personally legislating the details of your lunch for you is
an infinitely worse idea.

Oh GAWD! He is one of the reasons that I refused to move back to NY when my
husband got a job there. Just way too many rules and regulations for me and
my daughter. I hated what he did to the school system there. Those poor
kids! They were not allowed to learn at their own pace. Anyone who was too
slow had damned well better find a way to pick up the pace! And anyone who
worked too quickly was punished. My daughter was required to bring home a
tape. Yes, a tape, even though most everyone had gone to CDs then. I
actually had to purchase a tape player so she could do her homework. This
was in Kindergarten. She was required to listed to the tape until it told
her to stop. The tape slowly read this stupid story. She was then to pick
up the book and read it aloud slowly. She had to do this paragraph by
paragraph at the pace that the tape told her to use. She was bored out of
her tree! She could already read and pretty well at that point. I think
that whole thing is what put her off of reading today. She hates it! I
finally fast forwarded the stupid tape, took it out and said she was done.
Then each night after that, I just did the same. Not only did I have to
sign a paper that she did the assignment, but she had to bring in the tape,
showing the teacher that she had listened to it.

I had bought her the Dick and Jane series of books prior to her going into
Kindergarten. Those are what I learned to read with. She quickly whipped
through those and could pretty much read anything. So she didn't need this
stupid system. Bloomberg also required all students to spend an extra hour
in school one day each week to improve their reading skills. And because
the other kids apparently were doing his pace of things, they actually
couldn't read yet. So she said they just kept them there and they had to
pretend to be reading. Because he sent out people to assess them and make
sure they were doing what he said. The man is a damned control freak!

That actually wasn't first. I don't know when he took office but we were
there just after 9/11 and he was controlling the school system then. After
that he required all restaurants to list the nutritional breakdown of their
foods. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think he also required them
to list ingredients which is a nice thing to know if you have food
intolerances or allergies. And he banned trans-fats. But I think he went
too far. Way too far.

We have rules here. People are very green here. They don't necessarily
tell you what to eat but what you can put the food in if it is takeout of if
you are buying it at the store...they want you to bring your own bags...
And how to dispose of your food scraps at home. You have to compost in one
way or another. If you don't have a compost heap you have to purchase
Bio-bags and put the scraps in with your yard waste.

I do get annoyed with this at times. When I was a kid we put all sorts of
food scraps down the toilet. We had no disposal. And for a time we had no
sewer. We had septic. Probably shouldn't have been putting food there
then! Whatever wouldn't flush went into the trash, perhaps being wrapped in
some way. I think I have parents who were OCD in some ways. Gum had to be
wrapped in a tissue. Banana peels had to be in a waxed paper bag because
banana peels stink. Once in a great while, my mom would buy a cantaloupe.
And because she couldn't stand the smell of them, those had rules of
disposal. Reminded me of that episode on SNL where they did the anal
retentive chef.

All my children could read before they went to school. My daughter's first
teacher was not pleased!

I could too. I don't remember the teacher being upset by it but it was
frustrating to me. When we moved here, I was in the second grade. I went
to the library and chose books that I wanted to read. The librarian said
they were above my level. They were books written for adults. I told her
that I could read them. She told me to come the next day after school and
prove it to her. I did. The next year, she gave me a job in the library.
They were always having to find jobs for me to do. I whipped through my
work so quickly that school was insanely boring. I worked in the cafeteria
and office as well and was teacher's aid for various classes.

Exactly. I'm not complaining about his intentions, so much as his
method.

Progressives want to *FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA* even though there
is nothing fundamentally wrong with America. What is wrong is the
Progressivism that has crept into Society. Reverse that trend and we'd
be doing OK with sensible needed changes taking place on a reasonable
time frame rather than making stupid changes towards Socialism that
isn't needed at all.


These days Progressivism can be described as a change to Socialism.

I didn't write the above.

One of these days - not so far into the future, Nanny Bloomberg is going
to open his bumbershoot and he will fly off into the sky. It's happened
before.

I predict, people will miss Nanny. Where's Nanny! will be the cry in NYC.
