Samuel Adams would have never put up with this. Why are you?

Stop Unfunded
Mandates NOW
Rally
April 21, 2012 (Rain or Shine!), 12 noon
West Side Capitol Building, Albany, NY
You are cordially invited to attend a rally to demand significant Mandate Relief from the NY State Legislature. Join with your fellow citizens and
let your voice be heard!
On April 15th, UCC Member Tom Cavanagh will begin his “talking and walking” tour of the State of New York in support of Mandate Relief. He will leave Champlain, NY at the Canadian border and walk 459 miles in 18 days, ending in Montauk, Long Island. He will pass through Albany on Saturday, April 21st to help get the word out about the need for serious reform at the
Stop Unfunded Mandates NOW Rally!
This rally will feature elected officials and organizational leaders across the state who are fighting for significant mandate reform. We want to express our support for the Mandate Relief proposals and bills that have been introduced this year – and we want to let Albany know that we are expecting them to be advocates for the residents of their districts, not special interests.
The urgency of the crisis our localities face has been clearly articulated by numerous counties, cities, towns, and school districts across the state – all eyes are on Albany to see how our elected leaders will respond.
Let them know that you are watching!

I would recommend watching the entire interview. Great points are made. This is worth watching.

CATCHING PIGS
THIS IS THOUGHT PROVOKING.
There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some
exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab,
the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept
rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked
the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet
lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his
native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and
install a new communist regime.
In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a
strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding
a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs
find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn.
"When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side
of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the
fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of
the fence.
"They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you
have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.
"The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the
gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and
catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.
They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon
they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they
have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept
their captivity."
