YES, fix it ..... as long as it doesn't affect me ..

Voters in Ohio are FICKLE.

They voted Republican, and put a new Governor in office. He stated he would cut spending, and he was elected for that reason. Now, he is in office implementing his promises and he has stepped on a few toes, so now, they are against his proposals.

Issue 2.

Some employees, that DID  NOT in the past, are now, if the Issue passes, going to have to pay their fair share. They don't like that.

Certain departments want to do their own IDEAL staffing, regardless if the personnel are available or not.

THEY liked the concept, but didn't like the execution of it. They wanted the state to SAVE money, but not if it effects them

SAVE money, but not if it effects me.

ADD Staff, even though there is no money to do so.

WE want to live in an IDEAL world.

WE want our CAKE and WE want to EAT it TOO.

If someone is trying to FIX a problem, work with them to do so, don't bring up EMOTIONAL ISSUES to try to get a response across. Don't THREATEN me or my life with situations that could arise, IF?????

It happened in Newark, Ohio

A policeman was interrogating 3 blonde's who were training to become detectives.

To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blond a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?

The first blond answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"

The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture shows his side profile." Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blond and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"

The second blond giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"

The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?!? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his side profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?

Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blond and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds"... think hard before giving me a stupid answer."

The blond looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm...the suspect wears contact lenses."

The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer...wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that."

He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspects file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I can't believe it...it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?

"That's easy," the blond replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."
