Sloth.
Or they insist on living in an area where there is no work. It's tough to move. It's MUCH easier to get welfare.
Just an opinion.
Of course I am! I reconciled the absurdity of life when I started paying for a bottle of water. Imagine, selling water. Our water here is wonderful but still I find myself BUYING water. I am part of the absurdity. I keep forgetting! :o)
Not often enough, unfortunately.
Damn! Seems the same exact deal no matter where Africans land.
A friend of mine explained it all.
Here in West Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.
I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me. I know it will bite me because it’s a rattlesnake and that’s what rattlesnakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake. I just kill it.
I don’t try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are, because (a) it won’t tell me, and (b) I already know they live on my place. So I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.
I don’t look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake-—I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush.
In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them the fair justice they deserve...I kill them....”
Similar arguments are made as to why ag subsidies can’t be ended. Markets adjust. Management adjusts. People adjust. Somehow, people will still afford hamburger.
