I just had to comment on this: The Caller Times newspaper has a picture in the February 24 edition of a group of snowmen on the lawn of the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing. They have signs protesting the raising of taxes in the state. Their signs written on cardboard say, "Don't Raise Our Taxes" and "I'm Mad And I Vote".
It struck me as a bit humorous: Snowmen protesting to their representatives as they come to do government? We all know they will get the cold shoulder. They know that when things heat up at the State Capitol these protesters will be gone! They will just melt away and their protests will be like water under the bridge.
A snowman protester would not last long in South Texas. O, if he had a vote, the politicians would put him in the freezer until election day. After that they would only view him as another drip.
We had some demented protester crash his plane into the IRS building in Austin, killing himself and totally innocent workers. What a foolish act. Now, some are seeking to make him a hero of sorts. The best protest is still packed inside a little box. It is called a VOTE. Snowmen protesters can appear so lily white at first, but the grime of the street has a way of turning them brown and slushy and one day we wake up to find they have flowed away.
