I think the source of the graphic is Capitalism is Freedom but the site wouldn’t load for me.

Can any of you figure out what they are trying to say with this graphic? Here’s a link to the story if you’re interested.

If I ever post a graphic that is this hard to understand, please let me know.

I know we shouldn’t take these college kids seriously but this was too good to pass up. Fast forward to about 2/3rds of the way through the video to get to the dialogue I posted below. It’s too funny.

This what Rob says:

“There are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society. You either work for someone else or you work for yourself and most people work for someone else in a way that they aren’t free. Um…you don’t really get to decide your work.

“For example, I work at Noodles, a restaurant, and basically it’s a dictoratorship there. Um…we’re told exactly what we’re gonna cook, how we’re gonna cook it, what time we’re gonna get there. And basically if they don’t like what they’re doing, they try to tell us what to do, if we don’t listen, they get rid of us. And so we’re not able to cooperate in a way that we make decisions together.

“I try to convice my fellow employees that we should have a union at Noodles so it’s a source of power to start with. And then I think in terms of the bigger picture when you look at revolutions, the way that you actually get rid of any sort of dictatorship…um…is by having workers take control of the place where they work.”

The interviewer asks a follow-up question: “Would your plan–your vision for Noodles–would it include the owner? What capacity would he be granted?”

Rob’s response:

“If the owner wanted to cooperate with us as an equal, and provide his skills that he had, we would definitely cooperate with him. We’d have to abdicate his position as being owner and controller of us and he would have to recognize that we…we run Noodles together and basically if he doesn’t want to cooperate with us, he’s against us.”

I wonder if his boss has seen this video?

In all seriousness, Rob needs to consider the following:

• No one forced him to take the job at Noodles. If he doesn’t like it, then he should quit and go somewhere else.

• What happens when work actually needs to be done at Noodles? For instance, who’s going to clean the bathrooms? Draw straws to decide?

• The owner doesn’t tell him what to cook, the customers do.

• Are he and his fellow union members going to be prepared to buy an interest in the restaurant? Or was he thinking of simply taking it from the owner?

This would be a lot more funny if Rob wasn’t serious. Personally, I think Rob should join the military.

Dear Nadine,

The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a “Honk If You Love Jesus” bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, I’m glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed!

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is. I didn’t notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn’t honked, I’d never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind me started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, “For the love of GOD! GO! GO! Jesus Christ, GO!”

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a “sunny beach”. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I’ve never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing; he was enjoying this religious experience, too!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.

I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.

Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!

Love,

Grandma

Boudreaux suddenly quit drinking, took a bath, quit chasing women, quit his poker games and started laying around. He started cutting the grass around the church, even painted it and was faithful to be first to attend on Sundays! Father Thibodeaux asked him what about dis wonderful change that had done overtook him. Boudreaux explained, “I heard “Crisis in the Gulf” and if He’s dat close, I wanna to be good to go!

“Hey Da…Doug!” Then he says, “Our focus is on you, Dan.” Classic stuff.

This other ad is pretty good too:

Have a good weekend.
