Send-A-Brick Project.......sigh

http://www.send-a-brick.com/brick1.htm

The Send-A-Brick Project was created by concerned citizens to send bricks to Washington encouraging our Congressmen to stand tough on border security.

Each brick sends a message to our Senators and Representatives that we want our borders secured before any other action is taken on illegal immigration.

1. I can think of some places I'd like to THROW a brick
But That Would Be Wrong.

6. As Joe Strummer of the Clash so artfully put it
Edited on Fri Apr-21-06 10:20 AM by bunkerbuster1
back in 1977--

black man gotta lotta problems
but he don't mind throwin' a brick
white people go to school
where they teach you how to be thick
Everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
And nobody wants to go to jail

2. actually
this was set up by the Postal Service, as a fund raiser.

To encourage people to mail 1-2 pound objects across the country :evilgrin:

3. How about the Throw a Brick Project....
That's where displaced middle class americans bring bricks to DC and throw them at the White House, Capital. shit, we might as well brick up the entrance to the Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson memorials...they don't mean sh*t anymore.

5. And all the money that might be spent on building a wall
will be spent on worker's comp for the postal service workers that will be seeking medical care for ruptured disks and stress fractures from carrying bricks instead of mail.

Hoo boy.

and do something useful with them.
