Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I like Senator Palacios, he's like his co-senator Judy Won Pat....they have these high in the sky ideas and it's great for all....but.....they put small band aids on big problems then think it's going to cure the problem.
I'm not going to talk about the stupid idea about a stupid suruhanu from GPSS that will do all he/she can do to keep the agency from being sued....that's what foxes do in hen houses....it was a stupid idea and stupid people actually voted it into law.
This morning,(how I dread waiting for incoming flights), I'm going to tell you about the really great idea Sen. Palacios has for the refurbishing of the Veteran's interdenominational chapel at the Veteran's Cemetary....not sure which news group ran the story that it would be in time for the All Soul's day ceremony.....bottom line is.....there's a Veteran's Day coming up in November and if he wants it fixed, it should be focused on fixing it by then.
But like all pie in the sky dreams, they just make the suggestion, find the funds to fix the problem.....then have no plans of how to get money to keep it maintained. Last I heard, the duhendes and taotaomona quit working for free for a long time.....
I think Sen. Palacious have a secretary pick up the phone and pretend to be in the need for a church to house the remains of a family member from 8am to let's say, about 2:30pm......Have her/im list the charges for the chairs in the social hall in the back, the cost for the air conditioning and the like.
It's an unfortunate thing when our hearts are devastated because we've lost a loved one.....even if you keep the remains in your home til it's time to have church blessings, you'll still have to pay for the church and the priest and other co-celebrants...in the hundreds of dollars.
So....if we fix the veteran's chapel, we'll have to have a minimal charge for the set up of the chapel before, during and after the chapel....mourners aren't known for cleaning up after themselves after the ceremony....all they want to do is go home and cry....So, does the good senator plan to charge for the use of the chapel after it's repaired? Will he trust those wonderful folks at Parks and wrecks that aren't always totally responsible for handling money?
Fixing a building is like those shows on t.v........it's what you do after to maintain it so that it can be used over and over.....
If you don't believe that we have a problem of not maintaining our buildings....spend a few dollars on gas and drive around and look at a few dismal public schools......but....I agree that the chapel be fixed.....it'll still be cheaper than any Catholic CHurch for funerals.
