Running Out

Hi Humans,
You humans are concerned about the USA running out of money because of money being spent outpacing revenue coming in (as you should be). But there are other things besides money running out. The world will eventually run out of space for all of us creatures as you humans keep reproducing. You spay and neuter us dogs, but many of the same "conservatives" who are so vocal about the government not spending money oppose any kind of birth control for humans and instead promote reckless human reproduction without concern for the future. If birth control is not done by humane family planning, it will happen anyway eventually by inhumane starvation and war as people scramble for the resources that can not meet demand. Also, you humans are using up the Earth's resources much more than the rest of us creatures. The "conservatives" poopoo any idea of conservation. That doesn't sound very conservative to this dog. You oink oink humans will use up all of our resources, and we dogs and other creatures have no say in the matter. What you guys need to do is strike a balance to be real conservatives. Otherwise please move over and let us dogs take over. I think we can do a better job of managing the world.

Proposition 30

Hi California Humans,
Vote for Proposition 30. California schools need the money to repair the damage done to the infrastructure of the state by the Howard Jarvis tax cuts which cut funding for schools and other necessary services. I wish I could vote for it, but I am just a dog.

Teacher Strike

Hi Humans,
Have you been reading about the teachers strike in Chicago. Apparently the main issue is not just wages, but rather about teacher seniority. The administration believes the seniority system blocks principals from putting performance ahead of seniority in order to better serve the students. The teachers say that allows principals to be promote their favorites and punish those who disagree with them or speak up. This is not a unique situation peculiar to the Chicago schools or for that matter to only schools. The unions are a necessary part of modern capitalism, but they do at times get in the way of progress. But large administrations, whether government or private corporations can be equally destructive. Both unions and administrations need to look at the products they are producing as well as the compensation they are receiving. It is a difficult problem, but you humans are going to have to figure it out.

Political Conventions

Hi Humans,
I watched your poitical conventions. It appeared that Romney implied that he could offer a quick fix to the unemployment problem (although he did not make it clear exactly how he would do it). President Obama gave a tempered presidential speech as an experienced pragmatic leader who is in the middle of the reality of the situation. So, who do you think would make a better president? But why should you humans with your big brains listen to the opinion of a little dog like me?
