WUI (Writing under the influence)

I lived this for so many years that I know it's by design and just good intentions and unintended consequences although that's always the excuse. 

Annika Eriksson, a lunch lady at a school in Falun, was told that her cooking is just too good. Pupils at the school have become accustomed to feasting on newly baked bread and an assortment of 15 vegetables at lunchtime, but now the good times are over. The municipality has ordered Eriksson to bring it down a notch since other schools do not receive the same calibre of food - and that is "unfair". "A menu has been developed... It is about making a collective effort on quality, to improve school meals overall and to try and ensure everyone does the same," Katarina Lindberg, head of the unit responsible for the school diet scheme, told the local Falukuriren newspaper.

What I can't believe is that it's coming here.  I'm glad some parents are revolting and I hope nothing will happen to them; it was a different story in Poland.  Every time somebody appeared to be doing better than anybody else, he was brought down.  In most cases, it was the government exercising its powers to keep everybody on the same station so to speak.  But it was not without collaboration from the millions of useful idiots who just couldn't stand when somebody else was doing just slightly better.

There is even this famous song by a Polish rock group Lady Pank called The Art of Flying.  There is one verse in this song (~2:20 @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyE04CuPX3U) that makes me mad to this day.  Something about the guy finding the strenght to fly and maybe even escape but everybody around him pulling him down out of envy that they couldn't to the same. 

So if I can't have it, you will not have it either.  If Obama wins, it will happen here.  It has been happening since the so called progrerssive era and it still may happen even if Obama loses.  There are just too many of those who can't have it and will not let you have it either.
