If you're hanging around with nothing to do and the zoo is closed, come over to the Senate. You'll get the same kind of feeling and you won't have to pay.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't feel like I should pay somebody to do something that I can do.
The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?
I myself have been a major beneficiary of the view that no animal will more repay treatment that is kind and fair.
Zoos should concentrate more on the preservation side of things.
I don't want any more concentration camps for animals that are cruelly treated, force-fed to fatten themselves up for our consumption.
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
I'm for conservation, but it's mostly a con. That's the trouble. It's sentimental. Buy an elephant a drink, a lion an acre.
There isn't a political price to be paid yet for doing nothing. People need to get upset with President Bush. People need to get upset with their Congressmen.
But, you know, all I can do is submit my budget and then make the case to the Legislature to act.
If you don't want to do your job as a U.S. Senator, then please resign your seat and stop taking taxpayer money for a job you're not doing anymore.
