Whys and Wonderments 9/24/07

I need help with some whys and wonderments. Maybe readers can help me. I wonder if people realize if their auto is getting fifteen miles to the gallon they spend 34 cents in gas tax each fifteen miles they travel. 150 miles equal $ 3.40. Truckers spend a lot of use tax as they travel the roads of the State of Louisiana. I wonder about road conditions. I wonder why people don’t vote. Less than fifty percent of voters usually vote. In a two-person election it only takes one more vote than twenty five percent to win. If eighty percent voted what would happen. Pollsters, Politicians, Media, and entrenched Bureaucrats don’t like large voter turnouts. I wonder if they would react like blind dogs in a meat house, go into a state of shock and collapse in a pile in the chitlin room? There really is no reason for not voting, just a lot of excuses. That leads me to another wonderment. People do not inform themselves. A small percent read the newspapers and most just read a favorite part. A few watches the news and some believe everything they hear. Why do people believe in each educational reform program the politicians come up with? Thank God Teachers teach children in spite of politicians. Education, Home, and Religion make America the greatest Nation. That’s why thousands sneak into our Country each day. Some are drug folks and killers. Wonder why the Government don’t stop them?
