The US has spent about 200 billion on the war in Iraq.. which has resulted in the following.. loss of life.. media outrage, alienation from other countries, and it hasn't helped with religious and racial tension. So sure.. that 39 million could have gone to help the homeless situation in Los Angeles but that 200 billion could have helped the homeless in the US.. it could have been used for better programs for the inner cities.. it could have been used to fund better rehabilitation facilities.. etc.. etc. Do you realize how many shelters they could have put up with that money?
The elephant thing seems a bit odd.. I'd rather have seen the money go to build more wildlife sanctuaries that help all animals rather then just three specific elephants. But I'd rather see that money go to the three elephants then going towards building yet another highway that would result in tearing down more of the natural habitat in order to make things more... concrete.
Californians need to learn how to carpool..
Jam it back in, in the dark.
