Help Flats workers? You must be kidding
Rocky Flats workers: Get a life! Quit trying to wring compensation out of the federal government.
I mean, don’t you realize that our government has to send billions of dollars to Africa to help people who won’t even try to stem the tide of AIDS? And of course you should realize that it has to send millions of dollars to Darfur (wherever that is).
Also, it has to send millions of dollars to Mexico to try to stop the illegal drug trade. Now that works! And besides, the citizens of America have to take care of the riffraff that Mexico sends here so that it doesn’t have to take care of them.
And don’t forget the bridge to nowhere in Alaska, a biosphere in Kansas, a swimming pool somewhere in California, and money to inner cities to study why kids fall off trikes and why they don’t drink milk.
Now tell me, is your predicament all that important when you consider the above? Stop and think of others instead of expecting benefits that should be yours automatically for doing the dangerous work of the government. After all, you all paid heavy taxes during your working years and now you want benefits? Sorry.
Jim Kenfield, Elizabeth
Unfortunately, I'm sure there are people that will think this letter is real, and agree with it.
