ARE YOU STANDING IN A LINE?

Shouldn’t we each be responsible for our own actions and accept the consequences of those actions? Some believe we should go through our daily life under the total protection and responsibility of the government.

Who should protect us?

We could make a list. The list would claim the names of persons desiring 100% government protection for various aspects of their lives. For example, these persons would need protection from:

Hurt feelings (bullies you know.);

Bees;

Dangers created getting out of bed in the morning;

All forms of transportation (planes, trains, automobiles, bicycles, tricycles, etc.);

Leisure walks down the street;

Shopping malls;

Chain email forwards (If you love God);

All domestic animals and birds;

Neighbor’s yards;

Neighbor’s period;

All medical professionals;

All pharmaceuticals;

Breweries:

Vinyards;

Financial institutions;

Small print;

GOVERNMENT!.

What kind of protection do you desire from our government?

Perhaps we should begin to require all children at birth to have “Caution, life can be hazardous to your health” tattooed on their butts.



Clue #2 for the "Color Me Who?" contest is: Find this blogger and you will find lots of church signs.

  9. Oh, I know who the blogger is as well. Rachel! Well, I won't say anymore than that. I hope I didn't say something I wasn't supposed to!

    I accept responsibility for my actions! I don't need to be bailed out! lol. And I don't even have a mortgage anymore, because of my own actions.

    Going to go read your joke now. Hope your Sunday went well.

    Hugs,

    Renie

  11. I'm all for government protection from bees ;)

    Seriously...when I was 12 years old, my dad - who never used the f word - told me, "Everything the government touches, it fucks."

    I totally agree...nevertheless, I want my taxes to go for things that are MEANINGFUL - e.g. health care, schools, roads, fire protection - not war.

  14. I demand that my government protect me from calories! It is my right to be able to eat delicious calorie-free chocolate truffles.
    I also demand that my government protect me from terrible smells. I've inhaled some ghastly vapors in my day, and I am sick and tired of it!!!

    Love this post!
