Issue #1: Questions on the economy |
Incongruous Country
Today in the Providence Journal online, www.projo.com/
There are two articles on the same page that show the incongruous nature of this country and how resources are being wasted as we slip further into economic problems that many claim are unavoidable. One article, the top article, generally considered the more important one, talked of some mobster who had been located after a dying mobster gave away his buried location. Many men and construction and digging resources were used to find this dead man, a mobster no less.
The irony, the joke, the scam, is the article below the one about the mobster. The article just below speaks of the homeless shelters and the huge amount of homeless and the cold. It shows where to donate money, give funds, and how they are stretched thin!
Stretched thin, when a dead stool pigeon is being dug up with tax payer dollars. Incongruous Country. Leave that dead man where he is, and give those funds, men, and resources to the homeless. No. That's complicated I'm sure. Can you detect my sarcasm? Good. I hope the editor of the Providence Journal is questioned about this. I pray. And the sate agencies. As they hem and haw over all the whys and wherefores about this nonsense waste of money digging up a dead man when living people need real help.
