The HSUS gets most donations aimed at animal rescue. Most people don't know that they support only one shelter. They would like to keep people from keeping pets. That ad was certainly not a good thing but the HSUS is not an organization that should be supported by animal lovers.

Mostly it means two workers are forced to do the same work four used to do.... "for less pay"....and the 1%ers have converted the resulting blood, sweat, and tears, into swollen fortunes for themselves!

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

n From bondage to spiritual faith;

n From spiritual faith to great courage;

n From courage to liberty;

n From liberty to abundance;

n From abundance to selfishness;

n From selfishness to complacency;

n From complacency to apathy;

n From apathy to dependence;

n From dependence back into bondage.

Do people really not see that this describes exactly what is happening to our country????????????????
