Wake up Lansing legislators.

I just heard on the radio that some Mi legislators want to include more gym hours in our public schools.  This, to combat obesity in our school children.  By doing so, taking away other more worthwhile programs like music, the arts, vocational and science educations.  But wait!  Why not make it a double Bill by adding anorexic children and covering both ends of the spectrum?  Have you absolutely nothing better to do with your time?  Obesity is not your job when it comes to other people!  Do you just want your 15 minutes of fame, or is it time for reelection?  That is exactly how it appears.  Why not focus on what you deem less important issues like reopening state hospitals for the physically and mentally disadvantaged human beings in our society?  Or is where do helpless and hopeless people go or stay not too  important to you?  There are enough zealots in the world.  We don't need  more (you).
