How do I choose the right digital camcorder?

What if someone took away your freedom to choose what is medically right for your child? Long but worth it!?

• This is long but it's worth a read! Thanks! I have been researching Obama’s 1000 page “Health Care Reform Bill” quite extensively lately. I have read and heard several news articles regarding this issue, however most were from Blogs or websites Obama supporters would call "Right Wing Conservative Extremists" (or whatever else they are calling Rush, Savage, Malsberg, etc. today). So when I found this article today, posted on CNS's website a respected, unbiased news source, I felt I could finally bring up the question in here without ridicule by people refusing to see what is in front of them. Please read the article: http://www.cnsnews.com/PUBLIC/content/ar%E2%80%A6 Obama's new "Health Care Reform Bill" that he is trying to rush into effect before the American people realize all of what is included in it, will take away our right, as parents, to choose whether or not to vaccinate our children or choose an alternative vaccine schedule if we deem appropriate. I find this inexcusable!!! I realize that many of you probably just follow the AAP's immunization schedule anyway, but that is not the point. If the government is going to regulate this medical decision for our children, what's next? Personally I am having my daughter vaccinated, but on an alternative and selective schedule because I believe that injecting a 2 month old with 7 different types of virus antibodies (many of which contain extremely controversial ingredients like aborted fetal tissue, cow's brain tissue, aluminum, etc. etc. etc. ) at one time is just ridiculous and potentially very harmful on many different levels... and some of the vaccines like Varicella, are just plain unnecessary). I don't mean to preach. By this time most of you have already made up your minds about whether or not to vaccinate and I respect everyone's decisions. I just want my government to respect my decisions for my daughter too. How do you feel about the government forcing vaccinations on your child? Would you submit or would you hold them off with whatever means necessary to protect your right to make your own choices for your child? (And for those of you who think this article is over-exaggerated, it's not. It is straight out of the bill Obama is trying so hard to push through before August!) There are quite a few other extremely disturbing liberties that will be taken from us and put in the hands of the government (especially regarding elder care) as well but that is a whole other issue. I just want to focus on this part about our children and our rights as parents to raise them as we see fit. Please give me your thoughts, Anti or pro Obama, I am just interested in your thought pertaining to this issue; the loss of freedom to choose what is medically right for your child. Thanks so much in advance!

• Answer:

  I strongly believe in choices, the choice to pick my own doctor, the choice to pick my daughter's specialists and medication, the choice to space out vaccinations and refuse some if need be (I can see guardisil becoming "strongly encouraged" in the next several years) I refuse to live in a country where my right to make my own medical decisions for myself and my underage child (or senior parent) are taken away. I will pack up and leave if that's the way the US is headed (& I do still have the right to make that choice) ETA- I love the part about Merck trying to push Gardisil to make it REQUIRED for all school girls by a certain age. What right does a non govt owned business entity have to push their NEW vaccine on our children. Trying to make it mandatory to plump their pockets while possibly harming our daughters in the process. Until there has been long term research on the effects of the girls getting the shots, it's not going near my daughter. Remember the drug for nausea some of our mothers took in the 60's-70's? Many women (who were fetuses then) can't reproduce now because of that "wonder drug"
