[StBernard] Irony ---- Short & Profound

[Westley Annis]

	These three statements tell you a lot about our government and our
culture:
	 
	1.    We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a
few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions
of a few lunatics.  Funny how that works.
	 
	And another statement for consideration--
	 
	2.    We constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run
out of money. How come we never hear about welfare running out of money?
What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the
second didn't.
	 
	Finally ..  
	 
	3.    The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of
free Meals and Food Stamps ever --- to 47 million people, as of the most
recent figures available in 2013. 
	
	
	
	Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."  The
stated reason for this policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on
handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
	
	Thus Ends Today's Lesson On Irony
