In the paper last week I saw an obituary for Marguerite Hendrickson who died at the age of 103 – sorry.
She lived through eating seafood out of the sound and a lot of things that are not environmentally OK by today’s standards. You have to remember that most of her life was lived with little or no environmental standards.
I bet she ate very little fast food in her life and probably ate very little processed food that some bureaucrat in Ottawa says is OK.
Think of that for a moment. It’s amazing enough she survived before we had instructions on how to survive in an emergency. How could that happen, I wonder?
Maybe we should seriously look at some of these expenditures and apply these funds to things and services taxpayers need other than more unnecessary bureaucracy.
Are we property of the state where the state makes all decisions ostensibly – looking after the well-being of the people (which never happens by the way) and the people are to follow (communism) – or is the state the property of the people and performs functions that are necessary for the functioning of our society?
As it stands right now we exist more in the first than the second and the slope here is very slippery. Is this the society we leave the next generation?
This, to me, appears to be nothing other than a social experiment with no guarantee on the outcome. I misspoke, there is one guarantee – the taxpayers will pay for this experiment. This is money that could be put in a whole lot of places to provide services to our citizens in need, but instead it is going to hire more unnecessary bureaucrats and studies.
Some of our elected officials seemed motivated by building statues to themselves. We have a statue from one our past mayors. Can we afford any more bad decisions that affect the citizens in perpetuity?
Some of these officials are more intent on pushing through an individual agenda than providing a service to the citizens that are here.
You are allowed to have your own agenda but that is on your dime, not ours.
