3 things to consider

[hollister]

1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

Cows -
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a single cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And they track her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

The Constitution -
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The Ten Commandments -
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You
cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery", and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment

That's all. I don't like to ponder too long. It makes me nervous.

Hollister,

Our, or that is the people of the U.S.A., still think the Constitution if great, and will fight to keep it.
Cows can't vote, and both the Clinton's know this.
We are working on a fence but the Clinton's and their fans, don't want one. That could be a start. My grandparents came from over seas, but did it legal, like many others.

Now think this over.

Michael,
This was posted under the Games & Jokes section - because that is all it was a joke!

Hollister,

It is neither a joke or a game, but a slam at the great U.S.A., and I don't like it.

Hi mike -

What part do you read as a slam against the US? I comment about cows does seem to have a lot of irony to it, much like the statements of the last 30 years "we can put a man on the moon but we can't ...." .. fill in the blank with your favorite topic (including fencing the border, which you introduced to the topic.

The non-use fo the constitution has been around for a long time, at least since the Clinton years and was a favorite right-wing joke. Does it seem to apply to the Bush administration today? This is the best I can guess for offending you.

Now the comment about the Ten Commandments seems quite appropriate with the lawyers, politicians and the businessmen we have today. If we reduced ourselves to ten laws we certainly would add a lot of them to the unemployment line and we could reduce taxes!

What did you find to be "a slam against the U.S.A."?

I was laughing some what with the irony of your 3 examples, for yes, they are examples of failure. For it is nothing to become as objectionable, for it simply demonstrates the areas of need in repair and building. For it is aways a good thing to 1st know and understand a broken system. For only then may adjustments and re-engineering may be done for completed repairs. For after all, if a government or what ever system, has no idea what is wrong, then it is a matter of logic that a fix will not be located.

Charles,

You know more than our government, so why are you not in office, of some sort? It is easy to find fault, but hard to help correct. This takes input, and work, and time, and no body wants to do this.

Charles,

Still awaiting your answer. Like the old saying, if you are so smart, why are you not rich?
Try and find a good side with anything, you may be a happer person for it.

Somehow, in jest, feathers were ruffled. Not intentional.

Just John,

We must be carefull with our words, it can hurt someone. Not me, I am hard, with time, and age. All I want to do is help.
