2,4,6,8...who do we appreciate...


Sat’iday, Aug 20….I think….

There’s an article in t’days Bee about the poor starving students at UC Davis and how they need more help, more food stamps, more……pampering????
I think this article was supposed to garner support for increased funding for the ‘professional welfare workers’ (it’s a job, stupid) so the underfed students can eat more often….Gad! They tell us that we’re an overweight country, suffering from diseases of the fat…then they tell us that poor starving students are facing malnutrition, scurvy, diabetes, dyspepsia and hair loss, not to mention, low self-esteem and suicidal feelings because they don’t have the time or the money to eat a well-balanced diet….Pity the poor grad students who often sleep in their offices because of their workload…Oh Great God Almighty, don’t you feel so sorry for the  poor starving students who are simply trying to get an education at one of California’s more expensive universities…I know I feel for them…I do…I just can’t seem to reach my wallet to help them though…wouldn’t do any good if I could, the tax load in this state is already ridiculous…I suppose if I didn’t have to pay some of the highest gas prices in the nation, I could just get in my car and go down to Davis and pass out free sandwiches…
There!  I’ve vented durn near enuff for a moment…Justin Other Smith
