    This makes it easier to be a responsible parent

    I'm quite concerned about the [growing epidemic of obese children/declining faith in God of the children] in America today. I really would like to be a responsible parent and make sure my kid [maintains a healthy diet/grows up with a belief in God]. The problem is, my kid can run into any [corner/book] store and buy [a box of twinkies/books about evolution, atheism, and non-christian religions]. This really makes it difficult for me to be a responsible parent. I think it would be great if we could pass a law making it a crime to sell [unhealth food/these types of books] to minors. That would make it easier to be a responsible parent.

    Have fun substituting your own terms for the ones in brackets. Nobody said raising children was easy, but it's not the government's responsibility to do it for you.
