At a local university one of their science professors died and left like 1 . 5 million to the school with the instructions to use it to further their learning . They bought a scoreboard for their stadium . A FUCKING SCOREBOARD . People were fucking pissed . Back in my hometown I covered all the local town meetings because I worked for the TV station . We upped our taxes by like 1 % for a year to get funds to build a football track field for our growing school . Which I ' m fine with . It passed unanimosly . The next year they tried to keep that 1 % tax raise and use the funds from that to buy new water wells because we were in danger of running out of water from our 125 year old wells . People . Fucking . Lost . Their . Shit . They went on and on about how it was the towns fault for mismanaging the wells and that they shouldn ' t be responsible for their fuck up . Bitch its water . It ' s a finite resource . It took 2 years to convince the public that if they don ' t buy these new wells now , a neighboring town would buy them and sell us the water at 3 x the price . Fucking idiots the whole lot of them . Not a peep when the money goes to a football field but a while shot storm when it goes to HAVING FUCKING WATER COMING OUT OF YOUR TAP .
