No matter how far the stock market plunges or how many financial institutions go bankrupt overnight, there's still no excuse for letting your gutters become clogged with unsightly debris. So you have to ask yourself: Do you really want to go through all that mess with leaking eaves troughs and downspouts that don't provide satisfactory drainage? Of course you don't. In a lot of ways, our economy is like a gutter. You take care of it, and it takes care of you. But when the people in charge decide to neglect the economy, to not invest properly to protect it from "bad weather," then those bad decisions will end up costing more in the long run. Like sometimes squirrels can get in there and build nests, and then everything backs up and you've got water dripping through your ceiling every time it rains. And how are they going to fix the economy now? A government bailout? Whoo! That's $700 billion. I can't even imagine a number that high! The bailout plan is going to cost every man, woman, and child in this country $2,300, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. That's not even factoring in the takeover of AIG or the government's loan to JPMorgan to buy Bear Stearns. I don't know about you, but I rest easier knowing there's one thing in my life that will never need a bailout: the patented tri-flow technology of the year-round gutter-protection system available only at Banks and Sons Home Improvement. It keeps leaves and other debris out, allowing the gutter to carry water away from your foundation effectively, no matter what the weather or economic catastrophe. Wall Street has been like a damn roller coaster ride these past few weeks. Down 777 points one day. Up 400 the next. Wouldn't it be nice to have something stable in your life? Even though you might lose your life savings tomorrow, you'll never lose a minute of sleep worrying about gutter maintenance! Think about it this way: With the Dow taking unprecedented dives and a looming credit crisis in our future, can you afford not to update your home's drainage system? http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/the_imminent_collapse_of_global ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:276493 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
