The memorial would be built by the Springfield Library and Museum Association in Springfield, Massachusetts -- so it's no surprise that the provision to spend $400,000 was inserted into the bill by two Massachusetts Democrats, Senator Edward Kennedy and Rep. Richard Neal. In opposition to this wasteful "pork" spending, and in tribute to Dr. Seuss, the Libertarian Party issued the following statement: Green Eggs And Pork We do not like it Pork-I-Am, This spendaholic Uncle Sam. We do not like those Rs and Ds, Who can't resist more subsidies. We do not like the cash they waste; sky-high taxes spent in haste. Frugality, they have erased, and every bill, of pork it tastes. We do not like it on the Hill, When snuck into HUD's spending bill. It shouldn't pass -- we bet it will More money from the public till. If YOU don't like this Pork-I-Am Start voting Libertarian. WE would not vote for Pork-I-Am. Or subsidize green eggs and ham. Job training programs for the Grinch? We would not even budge an inch. And if a cat needed a hat? Free enterprise is there for that. Now, just in case you are obtuse I'll make it clear, with no excuse We would not do it for a moose We would not do it for a goose And as you may by now deduce -- We'd vote "no" on Dr. Seuss. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBOiwSQNCSe1KnQG7RAQEy5AP8Csy1vCm1nLMmh9q4wMhRZEDWFHOEmIPe e1OwqJAAbdhgElYA2lvvzwSpsR+9BcewNeLtzEPqY9P9BDm3mNCJJG61SVVSsxvh KwYxChDe4+fc4pSWqVvYNrT6TLrE+uyncq4I4Vh0+mixHee2zWuAjnhEv49E1t7E z0x5b6YxU1M= =VyyA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Libertarian Party http://www.lp.org/ 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, Suite 100 voice: 202-333-0008 Washington DC 20037 fax: 202-333-0072 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For subscription changes, please use the WWW form at: http://www.lp.org/action/email.html Alternatively, you may also send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with just the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line. ------- End of forwarded message ------- A<>E<>R Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Integrity has no need of rules. -Albert Camus (1913-1960) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the State among its hapless subjects. His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
