Over the last week an Indiana citizen’s letter to the editor got a not inconsiderable amount of attention. Mr. Tim Abbott, of Crown Point tried to set straight his government’s placement of deer crossings.  Tim wrote the following plea to deer safety officials to act more sensibly. . .

========================================================

My good friend, neighbor, and editorial assistant here at TWSA! to whom I need to return a lawn mower, wanted to share with you his own congratulatory letter to Tim Abbott:

This Fall

Dear Tim Abbott,

Tim Abbott, I agree with you! And remember, it’s taxpayer money that put that deer crossing in the wrong place. And bureaucrats. Do they ever think?

Tim, this deer crossing thing reminds me of my own idea to save taxpayer money. I’ve caught a lot of flack for it, too, like sentences that end with “you idiot!” Why won’t people listen? Did that happen to you too, Tim?

Here’s my idea. Tim, I’m sure you’ve noticed the many annoying and unsafe bumps in our roads, mostly in residential areas. They slow down free movement of commerce, like folks trying to get to their jobs faster. How do government bosses deal with this? Like everything else. Like donkeys. They waste our tax money putting up signs like “Bump” and “Bump Ahead.” Government workers even paint large expensive white lines on the bumps! When you add up the cost of the signs, the paint, the labor, the maintaining, and other things like bribes, you can see why we have big deficits to pass on to future children. (I don’t have any, Tim. My choice.)

I don’t need to read Anne Rand to know for sure it would be far more economic to just flatten the damned bumps! Then you don’t have to warn people about them. If  
you’re gonna take our money then spend it smart. Spend a one time cost to kill off the stupid bumps. Folks will get to their jobs a lot faster. I know I will. Do you agree with me Tim?

If you need more ammo Tim, bumps are bad for safety. When you ride over one at a high speed, it knocks you around in your car like liberals jostling for payoffs. Believe me Tim, I’ve hit my head on the steering wheel, got burned with flying cigar ashes and Taco Bell stuffings, and had my dog launched off my lap into the back seat.

Here’s another safety thing Tim. Don’t we have enough government signs on our streets already? Is it safe that we have to read so much while driving? Do we need to be reminded about speed limits every 10 feet? It’s no right turn this, no left turn that. And the damned “Yield” sign! I don’t even understand what that one means! Is it somewhere between stop and go? If that’s what it is, I’ll tell you one thing Tim, I don’ let freedom busting bureaucrats order me to yield, school crossing or not. Did our old school fighting men like John Adams need signs? That only would’ve slowed them down from chasing the redcoats and what not. If there’d been signs then, we’d all still be speaking Cornish or Welsh or Hessian.

Anyway Tim, that’s my idea. Hope you like it. We think alike a lot. We should write a blog. Well, I’ve gotta go now since I’ve been ordered by the government to show up in traffic court today. I’ll stand there silent and give them a bad check.

Thanks Tim for your work. I expect you’re a hero with the deers! LOL! I hear that you’re now a deer crossing guard. Is that a government job, Tim? I guess that’s alright. You earned it.

If you agree with my bumps thing, write to your useless legislators.

From, Anonymous Next Door Neighbor of Mike, Editor, They Will Say ANYTHING! and a man who stole my lawn mower.
