I wonder if we could euthanize some federal government workers to control their excess numbers?

    I'll third that notion! I am sick of our controlling government. PERIOD! that's why I will not vote for mccain or obama. that's what you'll get: more government, higher taxes and loss of our privacy rights. I'm writing in Ron Paul
    (sorry to get off topic...but, it's not.)
    I'll never forget seeing a herd of wild horses running across the snow covered ground at sunset in Oklahoma. It is a picture that will never leave my mind.
    I'm also thinking of the animated movie: "SPIRIT: Stallion of the Cimarron."
    Dreamworks, with music by bryan adams. You'll need to see it to understand. I watched it again with my niece and nephew a couple months ago. It's an excellent movie for all ages...

euthanize all the corrupt politicians who are being bought off by the rich and their corporations before doing the wild horses. At least the horses are free and liberated animals

You could all adopt a horse or donate money to take care of them. Otherwise something has to be done. Maybe re-introduce wolves to the area or some other predator.

  The cost of feed for horses that went up during last year's drought has had many horse owners seeking to get rid of the animals they have. There are probably many who wouldn't even take a free horse for that reason.

    DaneL and DKAL Yes I gave you both a positive vote. Yes it was on purpose. I agree with both of you. DaneL you gave a good suggestion. However DKAL is right. DKAL I would go even further to say that horse owners started abandoning them a couple years ago.

      I grew up in Kentucky so I'm familiar with the horse industry.

Why not try this technique on Bush and his bunch of crooks?

  Slow down. Take a deep breath. Don't get so emotional.
  And stop making stupid statements.

So, helping a struggling squirrel on a side walk is stupid?

  Only if you put humans in danger to do so....you know those people that lock up their brakes causing a pile up so that they dont hit a cat....but its ok that they send a few people to the hospital.
  And YOU were the one sugesting the execution of someone that hasnt been convicted of any wrong doing.

A California group submitted a proposal Monday to rename a sewage treatment plant after President Bush, calling the initiative a fitting tribute to the outgoing chief executive and the "mess" he'll leave behind.
The Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco wants to switch the name of the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.
