If 242 did not have an earmark it wld be harder to identify him. His ear mark is a yellow tag that goes right in his ear and says "242" in case he ever goes missing. I can stop by Travises field and call "242! Here boy!" and i can tell when his head goes up and i see that yellow ear mark that he knows i am talking to him and then he comes running over to say hello. Some times other sheep come over and altho i am good at telling which sheep is which i am not that good and the ear mark really helps me know who is 242 and who is just some freeloader who thinks i have some grass or winter rye and is not actually interested in spending quality time w/ me. What i mean is, 242 cld be anyone who does not say much and eats grass and lives out in Travises field and likes to have his ears scratched. He cld be jake, he cld be me, he cld be Cpt Slow. He cld be YOU!!!

Oh, but here comes mister straight talk express saying he is going to take away every ones ear marks!

That is just not right! In fact it is even worse than being not right: it is flat out WRONG!!! What will they do after they take away 242s ear mark? I do not know the answer but i guarantee it will be something.

I do not see why 242 ear mark is any of John Mccain’s business. I will tell you what. These republicans are all ways talking abt small govt and private property but before you know it they all start telling you how to live yr life and then they take away ear marks so you can not even recognize yr favorite sheep. Why is that the govt’s business? Well, it is NOT the govt business. It is just gov’t intrusion at its very worst and the party of Lincoln shld be ashamed of themselves. I will tell you something else. I have sixteen absentee ballots but i am not going to vote for John Mccain on any of them.
