An Epiphany on the Side of the Road...

You know, gang, I'm not the brightest bulb on the Christmas Tree, nor am I the dimmest. I had a genuine epiphany today: There was a story in the news how Maryland (I'm not sure which state) is planning on killing off a ton of Canadian geese because their droppings (i.e. poop) pose a health hazard. However, there is no proof that said fowl fecal matter is, in fact a health risk. -Doesn't matter. They plan on killing the birds anyway. My wife and I were discussing this on a walk tonight, and she was wondering why this was happening. And SHAZAM! -I had my epiphany right there on the side of the road. We live in George W. Bush's America. This is a country run by an administration that pretty much decides on what it wants to do, and then does it. To hell with the facts (Where were those WMD's in Iraq again? Oh yeah--THEY NEVER FOUND ANY). Facts just get in the way. I guess this end-justifies-the-means sort of thinking has started to rub off on people. Which is why a bunch of geese that have to poop like everyone else will be exterminated. Hmmm....
