I told her it was because the feds want people to believe the government is giving them money -- even though it's money taken from the people in the first place. If that's not the definition of a scam, what is?Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-49439288904447462522011-03-11T21:00:05.086-05:002011-03-11T21:00:05.086-05:00I just saw a bumper sticker today that said:

It does make me wonder, though, what the dollar to salamander ratio was.<br /><br />I hate to be one of those evil Human-centric people PETA hates so much, but yes -- I think money should go toward taking care of people, especially in the area of job training and education.<br /><br />Oh, and Donna -- I have one of those libraries, too!Mark R Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685591390353442531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-64208810083031800752011-03-10T09:57:43.622-05:002011-03-10T09:57:43.622-05:00I am at a loss for words.

What 10yr old will put that on their Christmas list. I have a library here. It's called The Donna Won't Throw Books Away Library. I should apply.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311305166391446029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-44122579023080523052011-03-10T05:36:25.315-05:002011-03-10T05:36:25.315-05:00So, where's all the money that should go to fe...So, where's all the money that should go to feeding, clothing and providing shelter for the homeless? Where's all the money that should be used to fund educational programs for kids? Instead, lets make sure all the salamanders are safe...let's spend OUR money on projects like "are men cleaning themselves properly?" when our farmers could use a little extra. <br /><br /><br />I liked your comment about the salamander sized tunnel under the highway...LOL, but truly, these are some ridiculous spending on the part of the government.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034502440519174115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467533615728239939.post-18589107799689552052011-03-10T04:48:23.740-05:002011-03-10T04:48:23.740-05:00Save the salamanders!
