Just received this forward from a friend who's usually pretty sensible.
An oxymoron lesson.....Because she's smarter than the average bear and we've been friends forever, I took a minute to reply...
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing, this year, the
greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 46 million
people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their
stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on
handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends
today's lesson!
