The End Of The World & Government Bureaucracy

Government Bureaucracy in Ultimate Action...

( Noah just recently: )
Some months back, the Lord came unto Noah, who now was living, just like you and me (as we know it), in the modern world...

The maker said, "Once again, the earth has turned evil and over-populated on me... Therefore I will now bring the existence of all life, humans included, to an end.

Still though, just as last time, I will allow you to build another Ark. Then, yet again, you will bring 2 of every living being - one of every species - plus a few good humans - along with you"

God then gave Noah the blueprints of the new ark, and told him:

"Listen Noah. Now You have EXACTLY 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."

Six months passed. The Lord was choking in disgust, when he looked down and saw Noah weeping in his backyard...

There was no Ark to see what-so-ever...

"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark!?"

"Forgive me, my Lord," Noah pleaded... "but things have changed. I needed a construction permit. Then I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system.

My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my backyard and exceeding the height limitations. So... We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.

Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea.

Even though I told them that the sea would be coming to us, they would hear nothing of it...

Getting the wood was another problem.

There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl.

I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but to no avail!

When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will.

They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in such a confined space.

NEXT:
The EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

Furthermore... I'm still in the act of resolving a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm obligated to hire for my building crew.

As we speak, the Immigration and Naturalization Authority is checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work.

The trades unions say I can't use my sons, or any of my own family members.

They insist I have to hire Union workers with Ark-building experience only.

To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.

So, please have mercy with me Lord... The facts are, it would take at least 10 years for me to finish your Ark."

Then... Suddenly the skies cleared. The sun started shining... A strong, beautiful rainbow stretched across the sky.

Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world after all, Lord?"

Lord...? Are you...?

"No," God said.

"In fact... The government beat me to it."
