I got the following "Put me in Charge" in an email. I did a little sleuthing to see how
legitimate it was and found this website which starts out like this:
On November 18, 2010, the Waco Tribune-Herald (WTH) published a letter to the editor by Alfred W. Evans of Gatesville. Since its publication, the letter has gone viral.
the rest is HERE
and here is Mr. Evans letter:
PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of
Lone Star cards; no cash for
Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound
bags of rice and beans,
blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can
haul away. If you want
steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me
in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women
Norplant birth
control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test
recipients for drugs,
alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use
drugs, alcohol, or
smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live
in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good
state of repair. Your
home" will be subject to inspections anytime and
possessions will be
inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then
get a job and your
own place.
In addition, you will either present a
check stub from a job each week or
you will report to a "government" job. It
may be cleaning the roadways of
trash, painting and repairing public housing,
whatever we find for you. We
will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile
tires and your blasting stereo
and speakers and put that money toward the
"common good.."
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights,
realize that all of
the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our
rules. Before
you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self
esteem,"
consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's
money for
doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self
esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should
at least
attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current
system
rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you
are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that
is correct. For
you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will
voluntarily remove
yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't
welfare check. If you
want to vote, then get a job.

Another Case...Domestic Terrorism?
Woman opens fire and shoots 7....
The altercation apparently began as an argument aboard the boat, Quinn said. Radio One Detroit's station Hot 107.5, which plays hip hop and rap, was hosting the On Deck Sunday Moonlight Cruise. The event is touted on the boat's Facebook page as a nightclub atmosphere on a cruise from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The Detroit Princess also provides a DJ for the cruise, playing softer music on the boat's top deck.

3 Boxes of BS has a Great Post on The Chick-fil-A Controversy
"I think that I share the same thoughts or ideas with many people that turned out to support Chick-Fil-A.
Let me know if I’m wrong or off base because unlike some people I really do want to have a conversation about the issue."
