To whom it may concern:
I go walking on King Fisher Pier, and this is to the person or persons that walk their dogs on the pier:  As I am walking on the pier I have to step over dog poop. This is so sad that someone thinks so little about having respect for others and not being proud of the community they are in. And these people would probably scream loudest if someone’s dog stopped and pooped in their yard. May you step in poop.

Subject: BP Oil Spill:
As printed in the January issue of the Texas Monthly:
“And he said, ‘Weaken the testing regime on thy blowout preventer.’ And it came to pass. And then he said, ‘Let thy cement be as watery mud.’ And it came to pass. And he said, ‘Ignore thee warnings from thy contractors who are idle.’ And it came to pass. And then he said, ‘Run like –ll; it’s gonna blow!’”
Speaking in Washington DC about the gulf oil spill, Governor Rick Perry said, “From time to time there are things that occur that are acts of God and cannot be prevented.”
Is this your God?

To those that consider “redistribution of wealth” as a cure to economic problems or “society’s ills”, I reply that it is economic cannibalism! Also coupled with the inevitable Federal Debt it is selling your children into economic slavery.
Marxist Theory does not work at all without total oppression. If you reward people for not working and compensate them for making bad economic decisions, you will get more bad economic decisions. If you punish people for working, saving, and investing with high taxes, they will do less and hide their capital. “Redistribution of wealth” subsidises the non-productive and will increase their numbers while discouraging and destroying the productive and potential investors.
So the result is more “receivers” every year, with a smaller productive Taxable Base and investors scurrying to non-taxed investments. Also it is invariably coupled with printing un-backed fiat money and causes huge inflation that steals the value of savings, investments,and the purchasing power of your wages.

Wealth is created, not “distributed”! Everything we need and use must be grown, mined, or manufacutured, or some combination of the 3. Get over this Ivory-Tower Over-Educated Idiots’ socialist theory. I doesn’t grow corn, catch fish, or kill buffalo.
