and, else, provoking too.

          Here's something. I, thought, provoking.--                in many ways, besides, thought.



The next time you hear a politician
use the word "billion"
in acasual manner,
think about whether you want the
"politicians" spending
your tax money.




 A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did
a good job of putting that figure
into some perspective. in
one of its releases.





     A..    A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
     B..    A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
     C..    A billion hours go.our  ancestors, were living an the stone Agr      




     D..   A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

     E..   A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the
Rate
the government is
spending it.


     While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look
at New
Orleans:-


            It's amazing what you can learn with some simple Division

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress
for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.


     Interesting number, what does it mean?


          Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every Man, woman, child), you, would, each get $516, 528.

          Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your

home gets $1, 329,787

         Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.

     Maybe everyone should just flood their houses, then we can all be 
     On the "big easy" street
for the rest of our lives,

and forget about
working, and paying taxes
and all that
useless stuff!
