Helen Zille's quirk for the day

"I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it
with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it
lovingly with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous
flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio,
above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table . everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck
me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were
boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all
hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on
food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took
down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.

I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over
the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be .. quiet, serene.. and no one
demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see.
Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care
and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are
housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room
doctor; your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over
half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual
box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people
waving flags other than our flag are squawking and screaming in the streets,
demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the
bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop."
