Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2004Big Food Drive Today
The large Energy company that employs my wife is having a food & supplies drive for local animal shelters. Of course I will contribute big time. I never give to the "Bicycles for Boys" campaigns, or the "Toys for Tots" drives because those items are given to ethnic children whose alleged parents allow them to be destroyed within hours of their being received. But the food drive for animals is a worthy cause indeed. I will go to Sam's and Wal-Mart today and load the cargo area of my huge Ford Explosion with vitals for the little creatures and then drive to the drop-off area at the company's complex. My SUV can easily carry 800 pounds back there. If no one is available to help me unload, it will give me an opportunity to display my incredible physique as I deftly handle the 40-pound pails of cat litter, the cases of canned tuna and the 25-pound sacks of Purina Cat Chow?, etc, etc. The opulent life is good. --Geno<helping God feed the less fortunate>Royer >The large Energy company that employs my wife is having a food & supplies >drive for local animal shelters. Of course I will contribute big time. Great. They want me to donate food to a large energy company that made record profits last year (seen the price of gas lately?) and can well afford to donate tons of food and not still continue to make record profits. Me thinks not. Besides I don't trust that energy company to turn arond sell the food, pocket the money and doante none of it to anybody. Besides I worked one of those "energy" companies years ago when I was in college and I wouldn't use the name of that company and honesty and integrity in the same sentence. I'll donate the food to the save Angel food drive instead. > >The large Energy company that employs my wife is having a food & supplies > >drive for local animal shelters.

You have a very narrow, knee-jerk understanding of the word *energy*. It involves more than gasoline. But thanks for donating food to the animals in your own way. My cache' commanded half the allotted floor space. I even bought bleach, laundry detergent, trash bags and 50 rolls of paper towels to go with the seven sacks of kitty litter, five sacks of dry food, five cases of canned food and a super box of cat treats. The kennel will rock tonight! --Geno >You have a very narrow, knee-jerk understanding of the word *energy*. It >involves more than gasoline. Bear in mind i've worked for some of these "energy" companies. If you look up sleaze in the dictionary you'll find the logos for these energy companies. I dare you to name one energy company with integrity.....bet you can't do it. > >You have a very narrow, knee-jerk understanding of the word *energy*. It > >involves more than gasoline. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I dare you to name one energy company with integrity.....bet you can't > do it. I looked up sleaze in the dictionary, and there were no logos for any company--energy or not. Your hyperbole is juvenile. Next time you want to wash your hair in warm water or cool off beneath your air conditioner and there's no power, call Green Peace and complain. Next time you're freezing cold and you want to warm your toes by the heater and there' no power, call Ben and Jerry's. Next time you're hungry and the microwave won't turn on or the gas stove won't light up, go chop down a tree and cook out. --Geno<glad I could clear that up for you >I looked up sleaze in the dictionary, and there were no logos for any >company--energy or not. Your hyperbole is juvenile. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >microwave won't turn on or the gas stove won't light up, go chop down a tree >and cook out. Note this person couldn't name one energy company with integirty.......not one single company. Instead he blames Ben and Jerry. Around here one of those "energy" campanies spilled ??,000+ galllons of oil. Did they stick around to clean it up? No. Did they pay for cleanign it up? No. Were they even honest about how much oil they spilled? No. . http://www.boston.com/dailynews/117/region/Buzzards_Bay_oil_spill_may_res:.shtml >The large Energy company that employs my wife is having a food & supplies >drive for local animal shelters.

I elected not to haul in 40-pound pails of litter because they might be awkward for the kennel attendants to handle. 25 pound sacks work much better. -Geno >I never give to the "Bicycles for Boys" campaigns, or the "Toys for Tots" >drives because those items are given to ethnic children whose alleged >parents allow them to be destroyed within hours of their being received. How very open minded of you. I know lots of parents and some of the minority parents are better than the non minority parents. > >I never give to the "Bicycles for Boys" campaigns, or the "Toys for Tots" > >drives because those items are given to ethnic children whose alleged > >parents allow them to be destroyed within hours of their being received. > How very open minded of you. I know lots of parents and some > of the minority parents are better than the non minority parents. I know some also. However, I was very specific. I specifically said ethnic children whose alleged parents allow them to be destroyed within hours of their being received. Are you saying that is not a prudent decision on my part? --Geno >I know some also. However, I was very specific.

And for every ethnic parent who allows this i can also point out a white parent who who is much worse.
