The You Know What Rolls Down the Hill
By Mona Lease

From Washington, DC - 2/26/2012 - U.S. Representative John Boehner says  - "Over the past 10 years, more than $100 million in EPA grants went to foreign countries. Our IRS spends 4 million dollars a years to operate it's own full service television studio."

Our President Obama, now wants an additional $400 million in tax hikes. The national debt is said to be $52,000 per person.  Obama is, at this time, traveling through the USA, trying to get the populace to give more money.

Here, in quaint little Darke County, Dr. John Graham wanted to do "The Lord's work." To churches and local dignitaries he went, urging all to "be on the side of our Lord."  However, when no real improvement materialized, local people started telling their pastors that if their church was contributing to "our Lord's work" via Graham's programs - then they would, thereby, suspend their tithings, offerings, and other charitable contributions - and some did. You know the outcome of that - threats of suing the city of Greenville, etc.  I've heard it said that "crap rolls downhill."  You know, the big guy throws it at you - you "suck it up" and push it downward to the next littler guy.

My question is - Has the "crap" finally reached the bottom? Are we now, finally, shoving the whole, smelly mess back upwards - as if to say -"You created this - You fix it"  - Just a thought over my morning mug of Cafe Vienna. MONA
