America Needs a War on Waste.

And a war on stupid
And a war on lies
And a war on sloth

America is drowning in a veritable tsunami of all...and more.

There is nothing worse than the smell of a cricket invasion. We had them every year in school. Crunch, crunch everywhere you walked. Could barely see the walkway for smooshed and live cricket. Ugh, the stench!

“And a war on sloth”

I’m unsure about sloth, and is procrastination subsidiary to sloth?
Could you define ‘sloth’?

Some of my best friends are three-toed sloths.

Like the 17 year cicadas?

Some of my pals ate them, land shrimp they called them!
I have seen bazillions of them never noticed any stink?

We have cidadas all the time. The kitties love bringing them in because they make so much noise. No, haven’t noticed a smell but then it’s only one at a time compared to a Biblical swarm of crickets.

“I agree. Let’s outlaw liberals.”

On the surface, it has some appeal, but I believe in the predator-prey relationship.
If one group becomes totally dominant, they will fall to the wayside after a few cycles.

Also, it is said that Republicans/RINOs would never starve to death; they would eat each other first.

Ok, we’ll keep a few around just for academic study purposes to pass on knowledge to future generations.

Maybe house a few in a zoo or in a CDC hazmat controlled environment.
