"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!"
Ezekiel 25:17
We do not make $12.6 Million per year because we're good at football, a game.
We do not make $8.2 Million per year because we're good at basketball, a game.
We do not make $6.3 Million per year because we're good at baseball, a game.
We do not belong to the NFL, the NBA, or the MLB, all of which have striked in the past because of what they felt were unfair terms to their contracts.
We DO belong to the IAFF. The International Association of Fire Fighters. We have never been on strike. We are ALWAYS there when you need us.
We DO make $40,000 per year because we're good at coming up with last minute desperate solutions to impossible problems that are caused by other people. We're good at being a firefighters. We do not do a fancy end zone touch down dance. There are no video cameras on us when we're warming up on the "sidelines." There are definitely no cameras on us when we're at work, because there are no camera men brave enough to follow us.
What we do IS NOT a game!
We truly do find lost children. And ANY Firefighter will tell you
"I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER."
If you live in Ohio, PLEASE VOTE NO ON ISSUE 2!
