California vs. Arkansas
 Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
 A coyote jumps out and attacks dog. 
  California : 
 
 #1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" 
 and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is 
 natural. Coyote kills the dog.
  #2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and 
 spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it. 
  #3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 
 testing it for diseases. 
  #4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
 for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged. 
#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while
 wildlife 
 services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear 
 of dangerous animals. They find another coyote and spend $200,000.
Relocating the animal to another wildlife reserve.
  #6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote 
 awareness" program for residents of the area. Then they spend
$25,000. for signs cautioning joggers about the possibility of seeing
Coyotes while jogging.
  #7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better 
 handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease. 
  #8. Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack 
 and for letting the Governor intervene. 
#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.
  #10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against
 the state. ACLU joins PETA and they win the suit for $13 million.
Arkansas:
  #1. Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has
 spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Buzzards eat
 dead coyote. 
Any wonder why California is broke???
