I don’t cure. I just don't cure...and
I wish they would quite wasting
my l'u\ paper'
The politicians are waging war
on one another ni a mujoi way
w ilh elections comine up
And. I sweat every politician in
the entire state ol d ecus lias taxed
me their side ol the story", To
make it worse, they have taxed it
to me lixe or six times..once lor
each publication and once lor the
headquarters name ot Thunder
Prairie Publishing. And, to add to
the general portrait ol xvasicful-
j^ness. they haxe sent these pi css
""releases' to me more than once
I ni sick and tired ol hax ing my
phone ticvl up dor thirty minutes
x\ liile reams and reams ol lax pa-
per pour out ol the machine Idled
xx ith malicious, t.u kx accusations,
against opponents, or lestimoni
als to the chosen candidate that
makes.himdrer sound more ol an
upstanding citizen than the
Atchunele (iahi tel!,
I ui tired ol coining to xxork
Monday moi nines and.) itul mg that
my lax has used up a xx hole roll ot
high priced paper tor these politi-
cians screaming, iminpimg dccla-
lalioiis xxlnje something that tip
plies to Rh.AI paper business may
Itaxe been tillable to get through
hex ause id tlie line being t ied upor
the paper toll being out1
Hut. there isn't a blessed thing I
can do. about it.
The xx hole th ing is. we aren’t
going to itm these so-,. ailed "sto
lies’ xx Inch are m reality nothing'
bin a political statement against 01
tor someone, at. all. I hex haxe no
purpose, no point and they aren't
exon dealing with something l.o
eal 1 Thsxv aren't announcements
thatat politician is tunning ioi of
lice, they are campaigns lot 01
against someone.
Wlulc I think the political pro,
cess in this nation and state is ol
crucial importance. I don’t think
(hat. swamping a lax machine is
any xx.ax to inn a campaign ..and I
don't cure xxliich parly 01 olTice u
politician is running tor!
It he/she would like toex.potiml
against 01 about something or
someone . let 'em take out an ad!
I he cost bothers me It is so
xvusteful not |ust because it wastes
MV stuff because it costs a lot to
develop, piini and soiul all these
taxes1 Waste is part ol the prob-
lem in goxernment these
days and M l ol these polili
cians seem to’he unconcerned
Hut. they haven't mxenteil a tax
machine ih.it can screen duplicate
taxes or send hack a message that
says "Sony, not interested, don’t
(waste lime and money", and since
such a lax doesn't exist I'll fust
haxe hi continue to xxateh useless
piles ol paper stacking up hut it
really is depressing.
