The Efficiency of our Government

I’m not one to spend a lot of time cynically complaining about our government, but its agencies have been quite active

All who consume will live a cursed, immortal life

lately working hard on making things right with this world.  For example, lately they have been trying to stop the sales of “unicorn” meat – an April Fool’s Joke that ThinkGeek started this year.  Yes, that’s right – ThinkGeek, a company that specializes in producing, well, geeky products, has been given a cease-and-desist order by the National Pork Board (heard of this before? It was founded by the Pork Act) on their production of Unicorn meat.  Apparently, their slogan – “The New White Meat” will result in consumers confusing Unicorn meat with “Pork: The Other White Meat”.  Interestingly enough, that slogan is going to be changed soon anyways, so could we list this as another example of an agency using its power just because it can? Yeah, we probably could.

Here’s another benevolent act a government agency has committed for the betterment of American society.  A while ago, a shipment of toy airsoft guns were confiscated because apparently they can be converted into machine guns… REAL ones.   Every gun expert has denied that this has true, and that there’s no way that “anyone with knowledge of guns” can turn a toy airsoft gun into a machine gun – for one thing, the bullet rounds just wouldn’t fit.  Feel free to watch and decide what you think:

The government and what they’re doing with our schools

Okay question…. Why in the heck would our government decide to cut back on our schools?! Because, quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of hearing that our schools are on the bottom of the food chain and only caring about their rich lives and spending our money on useless garbage like new roads. I’ve lived where there has been construction for over a year and, as far as I’m concerned, we don’t need them. Our government needs to save more money for our schools (hear that: SCHOOLS) than hide it and be greedy. Yeah that’s Arnold I’m looking at you about that. In my opinion, he was a much better actor than he was a governor!

That’s why when I get older I’m moving somewhere that A) has an IB Program for my kids, and B) has a state government who actually cares about their schools. You know what happens when we kids aren’t able to get an education? We grow up, get into politics, and we’re not unable to run things, because our government was illiterate and decided that schools and education were less important than things like roads and highways (which, granted, are ALSO) important but not as important as education.  It’s almost as if the government plans . See then imbalance there? And we’re only seeing the beginning of protests. There are most definitely gonna be a lot more. I hope the government pulls through on that. not even kidding. Well, bottom line our education is spiraling down… FAST. Our future might be in jeopardy because of this. That is what I think. And our school district is not helping either.
