politics and cow manure

The job I have is a lot like babysitting. I have to keep watch over a group of individuals that either could not or would not look after themselves. They are in a place where they get three good meals a day as well as stay out of the rain, heat and cold. They get to watch all the Television they want and they have a "cornacopia of channels" to choose from. They get told when to go to bed and when to get up. Thier laundry is done for them and they don't have to fret over what to wear everyday. They do not have to work, yet a lot of them still get paid by the government. Being paid to be there was a topic of one of the conversation I had with my bosses today.

I being of sound mind I had a hard time accepting that our government, in is widom, pays these indviduals money because they are in my care. Keep in mind they are in my care because of things they have alledgedly done or not done. My boss, a highly experienced man we will know only as Captian D was explaining that most of the residents are drawing some kind of disability because they are addicts and unable to work. This money is the source of thier habits and the base for thier income. In discussing this I became slightly aggitated. After all MY governemnt would not subsidise thier behavior. MY governemnt has almost declaired war on these individuals by going to great lengths to make them residents. Captian D then reminded me that it was my government that rewarded some business for failing. They supported unemployment by sending jobs over seas and they are trying to figure out ways to tax me on the number of miles I drive my car. It is MY government that taxes us every year on the items we own and paid taxes on when we bought them.

Captian D smiled and walked away, over his shoulder he said " Now you got more than cows to think about.........."

Up until that point I had a good day, all my cows were up this morning as I passed them and they were all grazing in the same direction just like they were suppose to be.
