rollin' and tumblin'

ANARCHY!!!

so now the Occupy Wall Street marchers are "anarchists" and are scaring conservatives..GOOD!! keep it up....the marches are about Wall Street fraud...you remember, the greedy slobs who got us into this mess..shall I name them? ok...Ken Lay and his Texas pal George Bush, Lehman Bros, the insurance companies, the car companies...all tied to Wall Street and inflated stock prices...they stole pensions, they manipulated the markets, they gave gifts and lavished huge severance packages on people who didn't deserve it...

the unions who represent the working class are not the cause of the financial mess... not the cause of house prices rolling and tumbling...lenders gave money to people who could not afford to pay it back..that's the key.... you need to pay your debts and dues..this isn't candy store where mommy and daddy buy you everything you want...you greedy folks need to learn self control and stop expecting the rest of us to pay your way, to babysit you...

DUI: The $10,000 ride home

Everybody knows driving drunk is wrong and stupid, but it's also increasingly expensive. Calculating the costs could be enough to sober some people up.

A typical DWI costs about $10,000 (or more) by the time you pay bail, fines, fees and insurance, even if you didn’t hit anything or hurt anyone. Think about this: that $10,000 dollar ride home is equivalent to over 5,500 miles in a cab.

now, some teabaggers complain that the cost of the cops watching the Occupy Wall Street marches is too high.....yet I don't hear them complain about the much higher cost of drunk drivers....the cost to taxpayers when insurance premiums go up, the cost for the ride home..drunks cost America 223 billion dollars a year!

Drinking and driving impacts us all, even if you were not involved in the accident. The social, emotional, and economic impact is far reaching

Alcohol-related crashes cost the public an estimated $3.8 billion in 1999, including $1.7 billion in monetary costs and almost $2.1 billion in quality of life losses. People other than the drinking driver paid $2.3 billion of the alcohol-related crash bill.

"• Alcohol abuse cost the Nation $191.6 billion;
"• Tobacco use cost the Nation $167.8 billion;
"• Drug abuse cost the Nation $151.4 billion.

"Substance abuse clearly is among the most costly health problems in the United States. Among national estimates of the costs of illness for 33 diseases and conditions, alcohol ranked second, tobacco ranked sixth, and drug disorders ranked seventh (National Institutes of Health [NIH], 2000).

the Occupy Wall Street protest has cost New York a few million dollars...and what has Wall Street fraud cost taxpayers??

all these figures and facts are hard to fathom when your head is cloudy from the drink and your eyes are too bloodshot to see, but I think the folks who got bailed out should foot the bill for this demonstration...and the village drunks should start paying their own way, too
