How Close Could a Dump Truck Get?

I wonder how close to the Capitol building and the Whitehouse with a dump truck. This would be a very appropriate message:

Tons of horse manure dumped outside French parliament in political protest - World News

Make sure you've got a few barrels of diesel with you when you try.

dumping manure in front of the capitol would probably be against the law. We all know how much you value law and order, so im guessing the capitol and the white house are pretty safe.

Are you willing to get arrested to make your point?

actually, you'd be surprised what might be legal, which is why "probably" was used.

Think of it this way, if I dumped a load of fertilizer on the national mall and spread it around to promote grass growth, id probably be a federal employee being paid for that service.

you guys might be right. Looks like larry has to cruise through with an empty dump truck instead, pick of a load of congressional BS, and return home. Might be a better use of time

Imagine being able to re-fertilize the lawn destroyed by Obama with a load of crap from congress.

The OP is of course just wondering. He'd never ever advocate such lawlessness.

Last year while our government was shut down, an artist from SC was in town and took it upon himself to mow the grass and keep the bushes trimmed. He got in a lot of trouble for it at first. Later, they grudgingly allowed him to do the work for free.

Is it any wonder congress can't seem to do ANYthing without paying way too much for it?

The stink is at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue. It is not limited to one party or the other.

Those who think it is only a problem with their own party are drinking their parties Kool Aid. 99% of the bastards in DC, regardless of party, care ONLY for themselves, but find plenty of people gullible enough to buy into their party BS.

That's how all lawn work on capitol buildings and city halls and the like, should be done. The government should be so small that the number of buildings are absolutely almost non existent. If the government were that small, then this would mean that people would be working to keep government costs down and would load up their lawn mowers and weedeaters from time to time and go do their share to hold down government costs.

A dream I admit, but a tiny government would be the greatest thing that we could have as a nation. Thanks to today's totally self centered politicians, we have just the opposite.
