That's what charities and organizations like the Salvation Army are for.<BR/>However, it IS the government's job to pave the roads and maintain the water infrastructure.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716160201406635752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605633.post-1145203356826666022006-04-16T11:02:00.000-05:002006-04-16T11:02:00.000-05:00"Yes, all hell is breaking loose in Burlington bec..."Yes, all hell is breaking loose in Burlington because they care about their citizens."<BR/><BR/>Actually, all hell is breaking loose because people are realizing that they voted for Dr. Jekyll and got Mr. Hyde.<BR/><BR/>Census figures out this week show VT citizens pay more taxes per capita than any other state in the country.

Was it meant as a humorous post? My apologies if not. But that was great! To spice it up a little, you should have written that Bob had conspicuous red dots on his tie. Or that you saw Bob in the study with a rope. Then you could give Agatha Christie a run for her money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
