<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And here is what would happen;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The animal rights groups will fight it for animal cruelty.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Civil Rights groups will demand safer working conditions for the squirrels.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Labor Unions will drive up wages so it isn't profitable and will go into debt</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We will have to ask Congress to give us a bailout. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And ultimately the UI squirrels will be replaced with migrant squirrels from across the boarder who work for fewer acorns and no benefits. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>

The city's snow removal people purchase as many small whisk brooms from
Tri-State as feasible (maybe a couple thousand).
The city hires the <SPAN>UI</SPAN> or WSU Vet Science people to house and train
hundreds . . . no . . . make that thousands of squirrels in the skill of
sweeping snow from sattelite dishes.
The city then leases these sattelite-sweeping rodents out to local
DirectTV/Dish TV customers at $X per day.
This thought crossed my mind as I went outside to sweep off my sattelite
dish for the umpteenth time.
Thoughts, Moscow?
