[I received this from an American. This is awesome and funny. It just shows how hypocritical and stupid the system is. But don't think the US Government is the worst. Jan]

Once in a while we just have to stand back in awe of our government.

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture,

is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food

stamps ever – to 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service,

administered by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not

Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "the animals

will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.”

Thus ends today’s lesson in irony.
