Mad Panda Grrrrrr!

I know this isn't really a wellness post but in a way it is to. Part of being free and dealing with stress is to speak your mind. I'm thinking that poor Bankrupt Las Angles Calif shouldn't be footing the bill for all the crowd and traffic control for the Michael Jackson memorial and funeral. If you put on a race that isn't for a charity you usually have to pay for the police that are required to control traffic for your race. The news announcer said that is would require millions of dollars of overtime pay and take police officers away from the jobs they need to be doing. Jobs like protecting the citizens.

The city did put out a web site with a plea for donations to help with the cost. Hummm, the Jackson estate is worth over half a BILLION dollars, why the heck is that cost not coming from the Jackson estate.

I'm sure that the laid off city and state government workers who are losing their homes and life savings will understand that this is more important than them. Grrrrrrrr! They are going to have elephants there for Gods sake. This is a circus and a prime example of what's wrong with our country.

I have sent emails to Obama, my congressman and to Arnold. I'm just one old fellow with an attitude, but if enough people agree with me there may be hope for us yet.

Thanks for letting the Panda vent.

I agree! Maybe, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson ought to kick a big chunk themselves, afterall they are trying to profit on the spectacle!

Completely agree!!!

Totally agree with you! I just assumed (hadn't really listened) that the Jackson estate was picking up the tab for any expenses, the same as any of us would for funeral expenses.

Wait, you mean Michael Jackson died. I didn't hear that on the news at all.
