this just made me laugh and i wanted to share it with you:

One of the greatest founding principals of our great country was the right of free speech (thus a right to your own opinion) - and during these trying times, I fully support everyone’s right to make their own decision. With that said, I also believe that when someone does something irresponsible, they should be called out on it and held accountable - this entails all aspects of life.

Read the short story below - a great read that will make you smile and it should make you think as well. There are only 7 days left until the election -

Your challenge of the day - let them have a taste of Obama ‘08

Subject: Obama Experiment

Yesterday on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read “Vote Obama, I need the money.” I laughed.
Once in the restaurant I noticed that my server had an “Obama 08″ campaign button pinned to his tie. Again I laughed at the manner in which he had given away his political preference — just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server — and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside because I had decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn …… even though the actual recipient was in greater need of the money.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
