Montana works on the Texas principle. However, in addition to Coyotes, you could add wolves and grizzlies.

A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor. * The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural. * He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it. * He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases. * The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged. * The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals. * The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" for residents of the area. * The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world. * The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes. * PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state. TEXAS * The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog. * The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. * The Governor has spent $.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. * The buzzards eat the dead coyote. And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not. -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
