Binky/Paci control

So this morning I woke up and thought what a great morning! Glad to be alive in this wonderful world and thanked God for all I have, then reality set in and I remembered that before bedtime I saw you adults crush my future with the passing of the bailout bill. So, then I got to thinking what else do you adults want to ruin for us babies? I have a friend who is 8 months old, he told me that his parents are taking away his binky. I guess they have discussed this with other adults and decided they don't believe in him having a binky anymore. WHAT?? That is so awful! He wants a binky and he cannot have it? Who decided that? It makes him feel better and keeps him from crying. He is only 8 months old! Give him his binky! I don't even use a binky, but I feel it is every babies birth given right to suck on a binky if they want. I was given a binky after my birth and decided it wasn't really for me, just didn't do it for me, but it was my choice. Next thing you know there will be some law saying you cannot have a binky/paci in your home anymore. I mean maybe we should lock up our binky and keep them away from those who would do harm with them, such as older toddlers who use them and ruin their teeth, but that is as far as it should go. I would agree to signing (or spitting up on) any paperwork your adults need to get a binky. This way you could put an age limit and keep the older ones from getting any. I understand that, but to say I shouldn't have a binky at all??? Really? I just don't understand that. I will be responsible for my binky if I chose to have one. Us babies have the right to own a binky as long as we treat them with respect. Keep them away from older kids and promise not to hurt or torture anyone with it. My friend is working on a petition for his binky, but we are not sure how to get it signed. We discussed the spit up signature, but once you get 2 or 3 babies together it kind of messed up the paper. We are back to square one with this, so if you have any ideas about how to get this done please let us know. He is going into withdrawal as we speak! Come on babies, don't leave us hanging!
