Long Live America

This morning I went to sign my dogs up for welfare. At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare". So I explained to her that my dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no frigging clue who their daddies are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care, and feel guilty because they are dogs.

So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify. My dogs get their first checks Friday.

Damn, this is a great country!

We too spend crores of rupees every year to save the tiger, black buck and other endangered species. Why?
Because that is the in thing.
The whole world tries to be in the news even when a small squirrel is saved.
However, thousands of human beings die every year because of hunger, heat, rains, floods, crime and other goverment apathy. But these are not endangered species. There are so many of these, they are dispensable.
If the government thinks they are dispensable, they why allow them to be created in the first place?
Why doesn't the government do something to limit the size of the family as they do in China.
Whenever any beggarwoman comes to me to beg with a child in her arms I feel like crying out to "Why did you first bring the child into the world if you cannot feed it?"
The government thinks it is doing its duty by just putting out a few ads advising people to practise family planning.
It is not enough.
The government has to be proactive, using the carrot and stick.
If the people practise family planning,they are rewarded.
If they do not, they are punished.
The time for apathy is over.
There is no point on depending on Allah or Ishwar or God.
If you depend only on Him, He will send a natural calamity to do your work
