Government Absurdities

   We had 7” of snow this past 24 hours.  The long range forecast has been for up to two feet +.  Regardless, we ended up with 7-8 inches depending on what part of town one lives.

   So this morning I hear Meals On Wheels will not be delivered today.  I’d like you to think about this for just a moment. Forget the hungry old folks – they don’t matter anyway.  Think about it from this angle just once.

   You do realize Meals on Wheels is a GOVERNMENT organization don’t you?  So here we have, a crisis to severe the old folks can go straight to (you fill in the blank).  Eight inches is a crisis!  Now, just what do you believe a real crisis would entail, and what would be the result. 

   I can tell you this; this is the best illustration I can think of to say one should not be reliant on government.  This has nothing to do with indigent elders.  It is to illustrate the absurdity of relying on government in general.
