These people actually vote

Here is a little poem in the letters to the editor section of my local paper... (click for full letter)

"The Government Gassing the Geese:"

There is a pain in the pit of my heart

A heart that never gets peace

The pain I feel is of great sorrow

The government is gassing the geese.

They cannot escape cause they're molting now

There is no chance for flight

The nets drop and they can't get out

Though they try with all of their might.

Then poison gas gets pumped into a truck

And they try to breath without any luck

Ova-Control, a form of birth control

Or oiling the eggs would stop the death toll.

But they are only considered a pest

Not worthy of disturbing their nest

So this inhumane action goes on for weeks

And those who protest are considered freaks

There is a pain in the pit of my heart

And I sing a mournful song

The horror inflicted on those poor geese

Can never be right, it is WRONG!

Must be a slow news day.

Good thing kadaffi isn't coming to the US, Obambi isn't hiding from voters, and the mob isn't cutting employees.

QUOTABLE QUOTES

" [I]t is not a crime in man to want to manage himself by his own lights, even when the government finds them imperfect. It is a crime in government, however, to punish individuals because they do not adopt as their interest what seems so to other men. ... Individual interest is always more enlightened on what concerns it than collective power, whose fault is the sacrificing to its purposes, without care or scruple, of everything which opposes it.” – Benjamin Constant
