Are you tired of out of control volcano testing equipment spending?

Where's the outrage? Who's going to pay for all that equipment? Those lazy scientists should have to get jobs to pay for their own test equipment if they want to protect cities and towns from lava flows and exploding mountains.

I can't begin to tell you the times I've seen scientists buying that junk with food stamps at Walmart. MY HARD EARNED taxes pay for that stuff! For the love of God when will it ever end?

Update:

Gertie.. c'mon now.. he brought it up. How many Americans even stay up at night worrying about volcano testing equipment spending? Personally if I lived anywhere NEAR a volcano I would, but I live in TX where science takes a back seat to signs warning us to obey traffic signs.

You probably don't remember a little hill called Mt St Helens, but I do.

Update 2:

g, Katrina was a bit of a volcano in its own right, but pshaw...what's a few dead bodies and misplaced people when there's MONEY to be made, eh?

    does anyone else think it would be just a little funny... if a small volcano exploded out of nowhere in the middle of some swamp in Louisiana... as long as no one was hurt tomorrow?

    just random... and scientists are like "we didn't see it coming, clearly we need to research this more"...

    HAHAHA

    I totally agree with you! This past summer/fall, animal control broke up a puppy mill, they now have over 300 dogs from that puppy mill and some of the dam's are waiting to give birth tha last I heard. The Buxton 300, as they are called, has already eaten up 1/3 of their budget for the year and all the animals have either medical, behavioral, and or emotional problems. So many of the problems are gentic too! It is just devestating. I mean what were these people thinking?!?! Search J'aime Kennels or Buxton 300 Maine and you will see what I am talking about. These dogs are expensive to take care of, have a lot of problems which makes them harder to adopt and places like this take money away from the regular dogs that need their help. It just disgusts me that people could do something like this. I too would like to what exactly made this a worthwhile venture, destorying animals lives, not socializing them, having them born already sick so you can sell them to an unsuspecting buyer, just to make some money?

    it's so funny that you bring that up. When Jindal said that, I was thinking about how I have seen specials discussing the dangers of volcanoes, and how that is not something he should be commenting on.

    Bush was not really keen on natural disasters. Better safe than sorry.

    who would be the first to cry out : "why haven't i been warned

    in time?" i think that would be you.

    we have much more important problems on hand than

    scientists trying to help.
