These might give you something to think about.  Oh well, it was just a thought.

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”

-- Francoise Rene Auguste Chateaubriand

"Remember, everyone's doing their best all the time."

-- Alton Becker's uncle

The population of this country is 300 million.

160 million are retired.

That leaves 140 million to do  the work.

There are 85 million in school.

Which leaves 55 million  to do the work.

Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal  government.

Leaving 15 million to do the work.

2.8 million are in  the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden.

Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.

Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city governments.

And that leaves 1.4 million to  do the work.

At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.

Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.

Now, there are  1,211,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me .

And there you are,

sitting on your a**,

at your computer, reading jokes.

Nice. Real nice!!!

Sick of those high paid teachers!!! 

 I, for one, am sick of those high paid teachers.  Their hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work nine or ten months a year!  It’s time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do - baby-sit.  We can get that for minimum wage.  That’s right! I would give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked, not any of that silly planning time.  That would be $15.00 a day.  Each parent should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children. Now, how many do they teach in a day? maybe 25.  Then that’s 15 x 25 = $375.00 a day.  But remember they only work 180 days a year! I’m not going to pay them for any vacation. Let’s see; that’s 375 x 180 = $67,500.00. (Hold on my calculator must need batteries)   What about those special teachers or the one’s with master’s degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage just to be fair. Let’s round it off to $6.00 an hour. That would be $6.00 x 5 hours times 25 children times 180 days = $135,999.00 per year.   Wait a minute, there is something wrong here!!! There sure is, duuuh!!   

Sheriff Joe Arpaio  (in Arizona) is doing it RIGHT!!:

         He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them. He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.  Took away their weights.  Cut off all but "G" movies.
         He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects. Then he started chain gangs for women  so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
        He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again but only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel. When asked why the weather channel he replied, "So they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs."
       He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value. When the inmates complained, he told them.....this is a good one......"This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
       He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
     With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts. On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.
     Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years.  "It's inhumane." Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates:

"It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes ...so shut your damned mouths.

THE LAW IS - (I didn't think of this but it might be a good idea!! RT)

So, if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "Under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.

And if that same Government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a Government installation, then, so be it.

And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools, on which they deem their authority, then so be it.

I say, "so be it," because I am a law abiding US citizen.

I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.

I would like to think that those people have the American People's best interests at heart.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?

Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God, and cannot Post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our Government is eliminating from so many facets of American life.

I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, & Easter. After all, it's just another day.

I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, & Easter as well as all Sundays. After all, it's just another day.

I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives not to have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.

I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday, & Easter.

It shouldn't cost any overtime, since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct."

In fact.... I think that our government SHOULD work on Sundays ( initially set aside for worshiping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day.

What do you all think?

If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin once again, to represent the majority of ALL of the American people. AMEN!!!
