| A Proposal From The Obama Administration
A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores has drawn plenty of criticism from rural-district members of Congress. But now it’s attracting barbs from farm kids themselves.

| My biggest complaint about liberals is that they seem to know what's best for people they have little connection to.
edit: This probably works for conservatives as well. | |

| If you’re working your own parent’s farm, the new rules don’t apply at all, and the act also contains many exemptions for programs, like 4-H, aimed at giving youth experience working on farms. | |

Me..obviously not so much. It was too hot to plant it, hoe it, sucker it, and put it up. Then it was too cold and damp when you hand it off.
Then the tobacco barn/tobacco company experience was always pretty disheartening. The whole damn tobacco farming industry was (is??) rigged. | |
