Oh, look, my second prophecy is beginning to come true! The personal insults! Hey, I thought you didn't believe me! I am not employed by the State Department at present. What does "I have their funding explanation in their magazine right in front of me" mean? Tell us this before I send you a fax number: Does the magazine say what you said, that Share International is "mainly funded by the UN?" (A yes or no will do; not too much typing for you.) This should be an easy one, also involving little typing: Just write a simple number: the number of dollars of "funding" Share International has received either in total or in any one year. You like to imply things, but you seem never to substantiate them. I'm waiting for more of my prophecies to prove true!

I do not respect anyone who lives off of the government-- get a real life and job. A leech.... Do you mean you do not respect leeches that suck off the gov't payroll like.... Cops that patrol your neighborhood and lock up any dirtbag that would threaten your safety and property? Civil engineers that pipe your shit from your toilet and ensure that you don't get cholera? Highway department laborers that fix your road so that you don't bust an axle on your Lexus on the way to the mall? An army of inspectors and regulators that ensure that your local nuke doesn't melt down, that the dam upstream from your house doesn't break, that the refinery upwind from you doesn't spew too much, that the prescription you get filled is safe and effective. Maybe you could go buy an island and just hire it all out to the private sector. If you manage to make it work, we will annoint you benevolent despot and let you come back to the USA as our supreme ruler.
