POSTAL SERVICE TO DESTROY MICHELLE O. 'JUST MOVE' STAMP SERIES OVER SAFETY CONCERNS

According to Linn’s Stamp News, the US Postal Service has now been forced to destroy the entire run of stamps based on Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative. 

That’s because three of the stamps showed children doing unsafe activities: one showed a child jumping cannonball-style into water; a second showed a child skateboarding without kneepads; a third showed a child doing a headstand without a helmet. 
The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition had not approved the stamps, but were only made aware of the problem after Nagisa Manabe, USPS marketing chief, asked Michelle Obama to take part in the ceremony inaugurating the initiative.

this is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard, and I live in CA. Yet I am not surprised such stupidity is rampant amongst our government officials. I work at an elementary school where kids cannot use the jungle gym, play tag or dodge ball, and where the entire class must go to the restroom together because sending students in groups of three (3) is unsafe. No one is going to copy a one inch piece of paper! the usps and its predecessor the USPOD have released far worse issues than this and no one ever complained, this all began a few years ago when some fool made a news story about the Minnesota state quarter showing boaters without life jackets, ever since then the government seems to prefer baby proofing its issuances, of fictional depictions rather than dedicating itself to solve our more serious problems, though the us mint did not (thankfully) destroy the quarters. Though while we are on money, the new security features on the nexgen $100 bill are known to daze and nauseate certain people, where is the white house on this? this last one really being a serious threat to photosensitive people. Lincoln was right if we ever lose our freedom we will do so by our own action, or rather inaction, to vote these idiots out of office, and never trust their kind as long as we live and im a liberal!!!
