Priorities, Schmiorities.

I recently watched a 60 Minutes piece that focussed on the international police organization, Interpol.

In it the current director said he felt like America just didn't "get it". While we pay
New York City $3 billion per year to protect that city, and Alex Rodriguez $27 million per year (not to have baseball, just to have better baseball),America only gives Interpol $5 million every year.

This is to the organization whose goal is to protect the world from international crime? It seems like we need to figure out how bad we want the things we want.

But, then again, it's a good thing we don't support Interpol TOO much because that's why they haven't found me yet. . .*big evil grin*

And to think that they give me less than that and no health care.

I think they deserve so much more than that just for their progressive "bolts of electricity" flag. We need more flags with bolts of electricity.
