Say NO to Socialism

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by the electricity generated by a public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water system. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like, using satellites designed, built and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast, which had been inspected and deemed safe by the US Department of Agriculture, then I took my daily medications that had been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal Department of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.

After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT built roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the State and Local building codes and local Fire Marshall’s inspection. My house has also not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local Police Department.

I then log onto the Internet, which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on Freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in Health Care is BAD because the Government can’t do anything right.
