I thought small towns in America were bad for putting the elderly to work at low wages to pay off their property taxes....
Now it seems that the unemployed in India are going to be put on "workfare" to castrate crazed monkeys (a troop of whom actually killed the deputy mayor of New Delhi last month).
My first reaction was to visualize a lot of guys in rags with very small, curved scissors running around saying, "Here, monkey, monkey, monkey...."
Then the conservationists began opposing the plan as unscientific and (therefore, in the way of environmentalists) EVIL.
And they're right.
All you have to do is remember that famous quote from Edmund Burke:
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do neutering."
OK. Sorry.
