TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

QuoteALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Hundreds of lobbyists in at least 20 states get public pensions because they represent associations of counties, cities and school boards.

Legislatures granted them access decades ago on the premise that they serve governments and the public. In many cases, such access also includes state health care benefits.

But several states have started to question whether these organizations should get such benefits, since they are private entities in most respects: They face no public oversight, can pay their top executives private-sector salaries and sometimes lobby for positions in conflict with taxpayers.

New Jersey and Illinois are among the states considering legislation that would end their inclusion.

But such groups argue that they are entitled to public pensions because they give a voice to government entities that serve taxpayers.

We can afford to pay corporate whores pensions they haven't earned, but we can't afford food stamps for poor people.

Like all sales, momentum is a vital part of their career, and they keep DOING something.  Never mind the absence of scrupples, morals or accountability, those folks are putting lip to tip, nut to butt, and shoe to marble every day to get THINGS DONE. 

Better to pay the harmless indigent or the productive cheesedick?  There's the answer.

Hell, it's like hiring mercs.  If they work out too well you can't just shuffle them off with normal pay.  They might not want to go.  They might hang around.  they might KEEP WORKING.  Free samples from scuzzbucket pisspushers are even less fun to deal with than a cadres of displaced junta enthusiasts.
