this too shall pass..
First, a short fable for your reading pleasure:
The Wolf and the Lamb
ONCE upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. “There’s my supper,” thought he, “if only I can find some excuse to seize it.” Then he called out to the Lamb, “How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?” 1
“Nay, master, nay,” said Lambikin; “if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.” 2
“Well, then,” said the Wolf, “why did you call me bad names this time last year?” 3
“That cannot be,” said the Lamb; “I am only six months old.” 4
“I don’t care,” snarled the Wolf; “if it was not you it was your father;” and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and-
WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA-ate her all up. But before she died she gasped out-
“ANY EXCUSE WILL SERVE A TYRANT.”
Now for the slightly revised version:
Once upon a time a Wolf was absentmindly running the country when, faced with relection and greediness for oil, looked up, and what should see but a Lamb full of oil and wealth. "Theres my answer," thought he, "if only I can find some excuse to take it!" Then he called out to the Lamb, "How dare you attack my country!"
"Nay, master, nay," said the Lambikin; "if I lack provable ties to the terrorists I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me."
"Well, then," said the Wolf,"why are you hiding weapons of mass destruction?"
"That cannot be," said the Lamb; "we turned those over, and you haven't found any in all your searches."
"I don't care," snarled the Wolf; "if it was not you it was your father;" (actually mr. Wolf it was your father) and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and--
BANG EXPLOSION DEATH MAIMING-- destroyed her country and people all up. But before she died she gasped out-
"ANY EXCUSE WILL SERVE A TYRANT"
i didnt vote for nothing. this country is mine, and yours and its worth fighting for.
