Alternative Stories

CBS Radio reported this morning that "wealthy Americans" are letting it be known that they are okay with higher taxes provided that the additional money collected is not wasted. It was a typical bit of propaganda. There was no basis for the report, but there it was. In any event, it got me to thinking about other stories like this that CBS Radio could report. Here are a few:

1) People with Type 2 Diabetes are quietly letting it be known that they are in favor of eating unlimited ice cream so long as it does not raise their blood sugar.

2) Folks in South Florida has told CBS that they are in favor of unlimited time in the sun so long as it does not result in sun burn or other skin damage.

3) NOAA has announced that it enjoys watching hurricanes and is hoping for more so long as the storms cause no damage or injuries.

4) PETA is in favor of reintroducing wolves, bears and other predators to Central Park in Manhattan so long as the animals do not cause injury to any people or attack any of the other animals in the park.

5) NARAL has announced that they oppose abortion so long as there are no limitations a woman's right to choose.

6) The Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt announced this morning that it is totally in favor of religious freedom in that country provided that all people are required to be Sunni Moslems who strictly follow sharia law.
