So, are any of you, my good readers, going to Hawaii this year? Anyone on the East Coast headed out that way? Have any of you ever priced a trip to Hawaii? Sure would be nice to go, wouldn't it? How about if you didn't have to pay a dime to go and spend time there, vacationing? You, too, can go, all expenses paid -- just get elected.

This year the (utterly useless) National Association of Counties, is having it's "annual meeting" in Honolulu, Hawaii from July 15-19. Are your county officials going? Mecklenburg County has some participants -- the same people who have "cut the budget to the bone," of course.

Now let's see, government is supposed to only do things the people say, and government should only be limited to doing as little as possible. Why in the world would any county "official" need to spend thousands of dollars of money that's NOT THEIRS to vacation in Hawaii? Because they can.

This is the sort of reason that government is too big. This is the type of thing that absolutely is NOT needed. THIS is the type of thing that you will go to jail unless you support it (with tax dollars). What I don't understand is why no one cares.

Maybe I should try it one time. I'll get out one of my guns and walk up to every house in a neighborhood and demand they give me some money to pay for my vacation to Hawaii. Would you be mad if I did that to you? Then why aren't you mad at the elected officials of the county WHO ARE DOING THAT TO YOU RIGHT NOW?
