My mom forwarded me this email tonight.
Food for thought ...
---------------------------------------------
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous
flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above
the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the
table...everywhere.
Then some of the birds turned mean:
They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
And others birds were boisterous and loud:
They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night
and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.
I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.
I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over
the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...... quiet, serene and no one
demanding their rights to a free meal.
WOULD YOU HAVE TAKEN THE BIRD FEEDER DOWN ?

Now lets see....... our government gives out free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be
an automatic citizen.
Then the illegal's came by the tens of thousands
Taxes went up and cities are going broke trying to pay for free services
Employer health care plans that were affordable have now increased many times over and for less care
You have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor
Small apartments are housing 5 families
Your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English
Advertizing and even voting material now come printed in foreign languages
I have to press 1 on the telephone to hear someone talk to me in English,
and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets,
demanding more rights and free liberties.
Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
