Termyn8or -> RE: Our government at work (4/9/2008 10:08:27 AM)

That's about where I am at charmd, and I have already explored the possibilities that might fix things. Nothing looks good at the moment. We already know that 80% of them should be shot at sunrise, but that particular sun is not going to rise anythime soon.
I have considered many different ways to bring pressure to bear but each of them requires solidarity of the people, which we lack.
A few flippant moments or sarcastic remarks might not be counterproductive, but when we get to talking about Peterbuilts, well, I dunno.
There was a time when theft of this magnitude, even on the smaller dollar amount scale of the past but proportionate to the era, would have people up in arms, literally. All of these state and local governments are "losing" money all over the place. It happened in Ohio and was partly responsible for the loss if a gubenetorial election by a formerly fairly well supported incumbent. But where is the money ? It is still gone. They never seem to find it.
Look at every story you have ever seen about any government "misplacing" money, then look for a followup with and explanation of where it was found and how it was recovered. I beg you to show me an example. You hear about them losing the money, and then you hear nothing.
Here is a prediction for the future, witness the death of this thread. OK, someone will find a link eventually and everybody will have their "proof". What will follow is opinion and conjecture I'd bet, because there will be no official followup.
But you see, in a short time they will lose a bunch of money somewhere else, and we will lap on that for awhile.
Perhaps I'll have to explain that. When I was young we got a puppy. This puppy had been starved, or at least not fed enough and would eat all of everything you put in front of him. Therefore he was not destined to be one that would have food available all day, plus there are some breeds that are just like that.
We would give him his food and water and randomly he would pick one, he would either drink all the water first and then eat all the food or vice versa, in record time I might add. It made him sick. He would throw up and if he does that, why feed him ? So we had to actually let him eat for a bit and then force him to drink. He did both very vigorously.
So they will manage to "push our head to a different bowl" in short order and the next scandal will run it's course, and then the next, and then the next.
