Once in a while you come across something that gives you a glimpse into how successful the Left has been in making progress toward its goal of convincing Americans to look to government as the solution to all problems.

Last night I attended a little wing-ding at a long-time friend's. One of the guests was a guy we've known for years who lives down the block from this friend of ours. We got to talking about how our daughter is at college and it's so easy to communicate via the internet and cell phones. This guy began to talk about how his kids used their phone can computers too much and he wished the government would step in and limit his kid's usage of electronics.

Seriously. He can't just tell his kid to use his cell phone less, or get off the computer. He wants the government to step in an tell everyone's kids they have to use their cell phones less.

The next time you're wondering whether the work AFP-Oregon members are doing in their local communities is important, remember this story.
