Some time ago there was a commercial for a state lottery saying, "You can't win if you don't play." Overlooking the fact the odds were still against you even when you did play, the statement itself was quite true. It's true for politics as well, except you need to remember politics isn't a relatively harmless game of chance. People's lives are affected by the decisions a few numbskulls make for the rest of us, so it needs
to be stressed politics is a fight. In fact, it's a fight for survival. If we want to survive, we better start
fighting back.

Our founders put their "Lives, fortune, and sacred honor" on the line to establish a base where freedom could expand enough to eventually flourish, and for more than two and a quarter centuries their efforts proved to be worthwhile. True, there were some serious problems left over which required additional generations of Americans to give their lives to fix, but the system the founders created allowed the struggle to continue until the USA could ultimately become the only bastion of freedom anywhere on the planet where every person in it had a fair chance to improve his or her life.

That simple fact should not be ignored. Evil exists everywhere in the world, but this is the only place where
people have consistently fought against it, and that includes when the evil was inside our own borders. The leftists don't want to admit it, but the only reason our country has any freedom in it at all today
is because other Americans willingly used their blood to purchase that freedom, even in cases where they had nothing to gain from the struggle themselves.

Unfortunately, the end result of all
that sacrifice has been the production of a few generations of spoiled brats
who don't even appreciate the enormous freedom they have been given. These
useless leeches have actually been taught to believe they are entitled to take
everything you have, and they now think
it's a crime if anybody dares suggest they should try earning for themselves the things they want.

Most of the founders who pledged
their lives, fortunes and sacred honor actually ended up losing one or both of
the first two items, but, despite what it cost them, none of them lost the
third. This is not true for the spoiled brats of today. They have no concept
what honor even means, so they don't mind selling what little they have to
change your life forever.

As a matter of fact, they are the only ones expecting to end up with fortunes afterwards, which is rather odd. How can you get all the things you want by destroying the process for creating
wealth? Once the rich have been financially devastated to the point they no
longer want to make any more money, where's the cash going to come from to pay
for all the things the spoiled brats want? Come on, if governmental confiscation of all wealth truly worked, King John from the early 1200's would still be hailed as a hero today. Instead, he is reviled for creating a long-lasting period of poverty for his entire country. Is the right-wing going to just sit by and watch it happen here too?

That wasn't rhetorical. I'm asking a
serious question. Where is the right-wing presence in the fight to keep
leftists from destroying everything good about America? We're all, myself
included, just sitting around whining about it. What else can we do when our
leadership is so feeble? Most of us have no power other than our one legal vote, plus the few dollars we can spare, but where can we give our meager support and expect it to do any good?

I have to tell you, I don't think
there is such a place, but I'm hoping one will soon come around. For my part, I'm
tired of wasting my money on ineffectual dildorks. (That's not a typo. It's also
not my creation. I heard it many years ago from a drunk, who probably wasn't
even aware he had created such a captivating word, but it's the perfect
description of the political windbags who go around promising to make us all
feel good, at least temporarily. Truth is, the only thing these dildorks lack is the ability to vibrate).

Our problem is we either already
have, or could easily get, the majority support on most issues, but nothing is
being done to rally that support. The leftists never face any real push-back
from the people we rely upon. Hell, a five year old screaming he doesn't want
to go to bed has more guts than most prominent conservatives I see. What
happened to "Give me liberty or give me death!"?

Personally, I do not regret having but
one life to give for my country, but I do regret not having even one good
leader in my country who could make the giving of my life worthwhile.

Sadly, the gallant sacrifice of
generations of Americans to not only keep this country free, but to also help
other countries obtain freedom is pretty close to being worthless now. The idea
of sharing freedom with those suffering under tyranny was and is a noble cause
for which to die (The Magnificent Seven comes to mind), but it seems only conservatives believe that strongly about anything. I'd really like somebody to show me a single leftist ideal even
remotely comparable. Where are the massive armies of America-hating liberals
willing to die for any of their beliefs?

What a funny idea. An army of
so-called soldiers willing to cry their way to victory is hardly a threat to
the true forces of evil in the world today. I mean, seriously, is there any
leftist out there willing to actually put his life on the line for such things
as government health care, legalized drugs, or, most comical of all, gun
control?

The idea is so ludicrous it's worthy
of a Monty Python skit, and there it is. That's all the proof you need to see
the libs should not be winning. They
aren't doing any real fighting. All they are doing is crying big, crocodile
tears about crap most people consider inconsequential, especially when compared
to the basic necessities of survival, and all it would take to defeat them
would be to tell them to shut up.

Think about it. What are they going
to do afterwards, slap us? I don't think so. The only way they can make us do
anything is by getting conservatives to enforce their silly laws. Leftists
simply cannot survive without conservatives protecting them, and I think they
know it - even if conservatives don't. The lefties need conservatives around to
defend them or else they would eventually end up in a huge battle where their
side would be carrying protest signs and oil drums full of fake blood, and the
other side would have all the real weapons. How long do you think that fight
would last? I'm pretty sure it would merely be a few minutes. In fact, The
Three Day War would seem an eternity in comparison.

When you look at it that way, the
only real question you should ask is this: why are we surrendering control of
this country to a bunch of wussies who won't even fight back when they meet an
enemy with a firmly stated goal of killing them all?

In case you don't already know, that
is exactly what is happening. Our freedom, and even are lives, are being put in
serious jeopardy just to give a few thoughtless fools some temporary political
advantage. The situation today has truly become a poorly run circus, and it's
time to find some sensible management. Are we really willing to let the clowns
keep telling the lion tamers how to control the animals? I hope not. The lions
aren't going to stop after they kill the clowns and the tamers.

Okay, fine, our political leaders
are useless. Big surprise. Nobody who was paying attention expected much from the
career politicians, anyway. They are good at getting elected, even though they are
pitiful at keeping their promises, but I think we all figured that out a long
time ago. The thing is the career politicians are also good at following the
political climate. That means they can
be pushed into going along with doing the right thing.

The next question is, where are the dedicated
warriors rising up to push them into doing what's right? More importantly,
where are the voices of average conservatives showing the dedicated warriors
they will be supported when they do rise up? I know I'm not alone in the desire
to fight back, but where is the army I can join?

Yeah, I know. There isn't one. Yet!
I say that because I know it isn't too late to raise one. (Note: the use of the
word army is strictly figurative. I do not support an armed revolt of any kind.
The Constitution has provided us all the tools we need to save ourselves
peacefully, so no brain-dead liberal has any excuse to start screeching in
outrage over the use of the word "army". Pu-lease!
Has it really reached the point where we have to hire lawyers just to exercise
our right to free speech? )

I also know for certain such an army
could win. History has repeatedly proven courageous people can stop morons and
tyrants, even when it seems almost hopeless, but likewise there is a time limit, and our time is clearly running out. Recent events
have proven there is nothing so stupid a leftist won't go along with it, as
long as the proposal is being presented by a person having a (D) behind his
name, but that only means we must do something to win over the folks who don't
consider themselves hard leftists. We are fast approaching the point where the
leftists will be able to remove our right to even peaceably protest, so we need
to put an end to their nonsense before it's too late.

How? Simply put, we can't surrender
to fear. We are being fooled by shenanigans into believing we are outnumbered,
and it isn't even remotely true. To paraphrase Sun Tzu in The Art Of War: "When you are weak, make
noises of strength." That is exactly what the left has been doing. Everywhere
they have been defeated by the popular vote they have turned to a handful of left
leaning judges to reverse their losses. They have next followed every one of
these hollow victories with loud noises of how powerful they are. They are full
of it, and conservatives have been incredibly stupid to cave in to the noise
without even putting up a single serious protest.

This struggle today is no different
from any struggle true Americans have ever won in the past, and that means all we
need to do to win is to put up some sort of organized fight. Let's face it,
leftists are bullies, and, as with all bullies, they have the hearts of
cowards. They only scream when they feel safe, especially when it's against law-abiding Republicans they already know won't hurt them, but they quickly stop whenever
anybody stands up to them. Look at that spineless Democrat Martin O'Malley. As
soon as a few folks on his own side got a bit hysterical over the line "Black lives
matter, white lives matter..." he immediately capitulated. Geez Louise, I
honestly don't get it. How can dildorks such as this be a threat to
conservatives?

The answer is they can't, unless conservatives give them the power to remain a threat, and there's no sane reason for conservatives to do so. The leftists aren't really winning. What they are doing would normally be called cheating. Leftists are brazenly breaking the law, and it's up to conservatives to make them stop. In fact, conservatives should be demanding they be punished. The leaders breaking the law in "Sanctuary Cities" need to go to jail. The government employees in the IRS and any other agencies who broke the law to mistreat innocent American citizens need to go to jail, and the federal leadership refusing to put these criminals on trial need to be replaced. Above all else, the Constitutional process for making laws needs to be obeyed again.

Sure, no Democrat will ever do any of these things, but if enough outcry was raised the Republicans could be pushed into doing the right thing. As long as "We the people" keep on pushing, even our current weak-kneed leadership would begin to realize they really do need to fix things or else face being replaced themselves.

That's the best thing about conservatives; we who hold those values don't slavishly support somebody just because he or she wears the Republican label. We actually care more about issues than we do about party affiliation, and we aren't afraid to dump politicians on our side when they don't measure up.

The problem is we aren't proving that right now. We need to make our presence felt. There are plenty of us raring to go, but we are scattered all over the place. We need a group, or even just one strong personality, to get us all gathered into one effective force, and, if we ever did get organized in any successful manner, we could definitely win this fight.

I dare say the first Republican candidate who took the time to get large public rallies organized, strictly for the purpose of letting Americans show they are not happy with the mess the Democrats have made, could end up being elected president without ever having to make any other type campaign speech.

Well, I'm ready to join. Who wants to start the fight?

PS. Life to America!

It has become popular of late for people who hate religion (and one could easily assume also hate the United States itself), to claim the Constitution does not support the Ten Commandments in any way, and, indeed, these folks have grown rather fond of declaring the Constitution was meant to prevent the Ten
Commandments from inflicting various unspecified horrors upon us.

What nonsense!

More correctly, what a load of foul smelling pig-crap only a leftist could enjoy wallowing in. Yoo-Hoo, liberals, please enjoy your wallow. No matter how much excrement you use, you will never cover up your true stench. You will always smell like America-hating, uninformed idiots, and no amount of lofty college degrees can turn your idiotic behavior into wisdom, let alone make you smell better. Oh, and before you start crying, which all leftists are abnormally good at doing, please tell the rest of us how many of your silly ideas actually seemed as good in real life as they did while you were altering your brains through drug use?

I wish leftists were able to see the way their behavior appears to normal people. For many of us, screeching liberals are the same as cats. The ones doing the most caterwauling are the
biggest pussies.

My goodness, did that sound too inflammatory? Guess I might feel inclined to tone down my rhetoric a bit, and even possibly consider retracting my statements, if I was actually concerned what some loud-mouthed wimp would do to me.

That's the advantage of being
conservative; I'm already prepared to stand up for myself. In case you haven't
noticed, liberal crybabies only want other people to defend them. Hell, they
want other people to do everything for them! They aren't strong enough, mentally, morally, and/or physically, to do anything for themselves. Even when whiners get elected to high office they're
still personally weak. All their power is derived from the people they use.
Just look at Harry Reid. Why, that poor soul couldn't even defend himself
against the secret, right-wing cabal hiding deep inside his exercise equipment.

Now, in case you believe I have
drifted off topic, let me start tying these things together. I am merely
exercising my right to free speech, guaranteed to me by the U.S. Constitution,
and the point is no frightened mouse of a liberal will ever have to fear I
might escalate to a physical attack because that is one right I have not been guaranteed.
It's too bad they don't realize it, but the only reason annoying wussies have
any protection at all from the people who could easily pound them into the dirt
is because the Ten Commandments provides them that protection, through the Constitution.

The libs may not like it, but the Ten Commandments truly are a part of the U.S. Constitution. In fact, they are the very foundation of that magnificent document, and anybody who'd gotten a real education would already know this.

For those who are unaware, the
Constitution is actually three sources of law all put together. The first, and
most important is the Ten Commandments, and the second is British law as it
existed before the Constitution was written. Any person who'd completed law
school, and paid attention, would know this is why old British court cases are still usable as precedent for some American legal disputes.

Naturally, lawyers who attended a
liberal school where this aspect of the Constitution was deliberately ignored
can be forgiven for not knowing the Constitution is built upon two other
sources of law, but no politician with a law degree has any excuse for not
spending more time actually studying the source of law he or she is required to
work under. Come on! How can you honestly be expected to "support and defend
the Constitution" if you don't even know that much about it?

It's sad, but even conservatives,
particularly amongst our elected leaders, are seemingly oblivious to the fact the
Ten Commandments had to be used as the foundation of our Constitution or else
the whole thing would have been powerless. Without a formal declaration of our
rights being God-given, backed up by the Ten Commandments, human tyrants would
have been able to later claim they alone held all power over us. You don't have
to believe in God to accept this; all you need do is accept the idea, thanks to
the presence of the Ten Commandments, no power-hungry human or group can ever claim
to have genuine governmental authority to remove your rights. In a nutshell, the only way our freedoms can be forcibly taken away by our government is if God came down to personally oversee their
removal. Even atheists can appreciate the reasoning behind that concept.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean
there aren't other ways political tyrants can usurp our rights. Our freedom is
also our weakness. We are free to give our freedoms away, in the event enough
of us ever became stupid enough to go along with it, and therein lies the
problem. We may have already reached that point.

The funny thing is we had a lot more
freedom when everybody was being reminded the Ten Commandments were the true
origin of all our laws. It was only after leftists started attacking religion
generally, and the Ten Commandments specifically, that our freedoms began to be
taken away. Some amount of freedom was lost every time the leftists succeeded
in getting a law passed to change our behavior.

Now, honestly, once they started
ignoring the Ten Commandments, doesn't it seem a bit odd so many laws we never
needed before had to suddenly be created? All we've gotten in return is
leftists telling us new things we must either do or not do. It's as if the libs
realized too late there was an empty space created in decent human behavior, after
the Commandments had been pushed aside, and that space somehow had to be refilled.

The trouble is they were too
arrogant to even consider the possibility they may have made a mistake. Oh no,
these people are thoroughly convinced they are smarter than anybody else, past
or present, so, even after decades of failed attempts, they are still convinced
they can fill the void with something just as effective. All they have to do is
create more new regulations until they get it correct. After hundreds of
thousands of these new regulations, they still haven't created anything as
simple and effective as the original ten. How's that for proof of the power of
leftist thought?

I don't understand why people can't
see what's so obvious. The fact this country remained strong for over two hundred
years under the knowledge the Ten Commandments were backing up the Constitution
should carry a lot more weight than any weak arguments a few uneducated whiners
are using against the Constitution now, especially since their bizarre ideas
have only been around for less than a single generation. Not once since the
1960's have they been able to prove their ideas will definitively make things
better. Indeed, the best they've done is demonstrate everything they've "fixed"
so far needs constant repair. What, we're supposed to ignore their failures now
and just throw all we ever had away because some know-it-alls somehow got a
notion, without bothering to do any serious research first, the Constitution
was a flimsy, ever-changeable document with no religious thought behind it?
Since when is fantasy usable as the basis for arguments?

Don't answer. I already know. It's
since people grew so ignorant and lazy they no longer felt they needed to look
into things themselves before developing opinions. All most folks know now is
what they were told by some other person, who also didn't do any actual
research, and if you follow that trail of ignorance back, person by person, you
will eventually find a person who simply made it up.

This brings up a very serious
question, if the leftists ever manage to get total control of the country,
merely by building up a foundation of lies, where's the solid rock base they
can later use to justify maintaining that control? They won't have one. Let's
face it, there isn't a chance in hell they'll be able to create a system as
good as what we originally had, let alone a better one, but, even if by some
miracle they ever did, they still wouldn't be able to keep it.

I'm seriously starting to believe
they already know this. I strongly suspect there are people pushing for the
conversion of this country who only care about what they can get from it during
their lifetimes, and they don't care at all about what will happen in the
future after they're gone. I don't know about you, but I can't stand the idea
of a few selfish people being able to get away with destroying everything for the
rest of us.

I suppose it would be a hate-crime these days to say, "Screw them!", so I'll just put that alleged impulsive reaction away until we ever become free enough to say such things again.

With that happy thought, let's pause a moment and look at how a leftist set of commandments would appear (We'll only do the first page because, as you may have noticed, leftists are much better at
creating new rules than they are at reading existing ones.):

Geez Louise, I hope whenever the leftists do take over they have the decency to
change the name and standard of our country. The old ideals and symbolism
behind what this country once stood for will no longer apply, and the least
they could do is admit such old-fashioned concepts as being united, being willing
to sacrifice our blood for the sake of others, and carrying the torch of
freedom for the rest of the world are gone forever.

With the not so sure and certain hope our country will come to its senses before it's too late, I
still say, "Life to America!"

Studying events in the past, especially when focusing upon the beliefs people eventually derive from those events, can be both interesting and frustrating. The events themselves are usually the interesting part, and the way the experts keep changing what they believe caused those events is the frustrating part, mostly because their beliefs tend to jump around a good little bit. First it's 'this', then it's 'that', and eventually it's 'this' again, with perhaps something new added.

Hey, if the experts are so smart, why on earth can't they make up their minds?

More importantly, once it is understood any given theory is likely to be discarded later by a more knowledgeable expert, why would ordinary people keep blindly accepting the current belief? The answer to that last question is unfortunately simple, not to mention depressing, and it is the foundation upon which all human ignorance is erected. The only thing most people believe they know is the last theory they've heard! Hardly anybody ever looks into the past to learn if there may have been a good reason for what other experts once believed, or, for that matter, even bother looking for other possible
answers themselves. If they ever did, the contemporary 'experts' would have to
work much harder to sell their ideas.

Let us examine one issue you
probably believe has already been settled. The story of lemmings jumping into
the ocean and swimming to their deaths is all a myth, correct? Maybe, but how
far have you checked into it? Most of you probably know the Disney movie White Wilderness from 1958 is blamed for being the source of this myth, and you further know the experts say the whole
thing was faked, but has anybody ever seriously looked beyond the claims of
those experts? Well, I have, and it's more than just interesting; it's
completely fascinating, at least to me.

Naturally, I don't know for certain the
movie wasn't faked (although I'm perfectly willing to concede it probably was),
but what I do know is the experts making the claims of fakery were not there
personally, nor were they involved in any way with the actual production, so straight
off the bat their claims become more hearsay than fact. Even granting the very real possibility they are
correct, and the movie was entirely falsified, there's still no reason to draw
any extra conclusions from that fraud. After all, a faked scene only discredits
that movie; it hardly discredits what the scene was trying to depict.

Not only that, but these experts
don't even all agree on where the fake footage was filmed. Some say it was done
in Greenland, while others say it was done in Canada, but, no matter where they
say the filming may have occurred, the experts being cited for actual lemming
behavior are from Alaska. These various locations may seem meaningless, at
first glance, but they are actually an important piece to the puzzle.

Guess what? There is more than one
type lemming on this planet. The "Banded Lemmings" are different from the
"Brown Lemmings", and even lemmings of the same type don't always behave
exactly the same as their brethren do in any other region. Sure, banded
lemmings are the type commonly found in North America and Greenland, so one
might be forgiven for automatically assuming Alaskan lemmings would behave much
the same as the ones found in Canada or Greenland, but why should Alaskan
experts be considered creditable sources for the behavior of brown lemmings?

What few 'experts' ever mention is
the original accounts of lemmings plunging into the sea came from Norway, and
the reports started long before the Disney movie was even made. Moreover,
Norway has brown lemmings in it, and brown lemmings have very little, other
than the word lemming, in common with the ones found in Greenland, Canada or
Alaska. When you look into Norwegian lemmings specifically, you will find they
do, in fact, jump into the water and start swimming whenever a mass migration
grows so large it reaches a river, lake, or even the sea, and the reason they
do is because there just isn't any other place for them to go.

Before we go any further, you need
to first understand what causes the massive migrations. Brown lemmings are
incredibly prolific, more so than banded lemmings, and each female produces
large litters up to nine at a time. Add to that the fact their offspring mature
enough to produce litters of their own in about a month, and you can see how
quickly a few thousand lemmings can turn into millions. Even if you round down
the average litter to four or five at a time, there's just no way creatures who
can at least quadruple in numbers every month or so can exist very long in one
place without consuming all the available sources of food.

Thus is created the need to migrate.
As they migrate, they keep increasing in numbers, and eventually an exodus of
massive proportions develops from their never ending need for more food. They
eat everything in their path, and they do immense damage to farms along the
way, but the destruction they create also makes it impossible for them to either
stay in one area or to go back. They have to keep expanding outward.

According to the original theory, the
larger the herds get, the less time it takes for them to ravage an area, so the
ultimate result is a sudden rush, especially if they've entered a relatively
barren area, just to find a new source of food. Once an enormous run starts,
the lemmings to the front are pushed so hard they simply cannot stop, and as
soon as they reach a body of water they have
to go in. It doesn't matter if they go in voluntarily or are forced in by the teeming
masses of creatures behind them; the outcome is the same.

This is the only area where experts on
brown lemmings find disagreement with each other. Some think these lemmings are
born with an ancient memory of a long-gone island which once existed reasonably
close by, and others think the lemmings only go into the ocean with the hope
it's no different than swimming across a lake, but, for our purposes, none of
that matters. Debating over why they
do it is very different from claiming they never
do it.

When you check with the experts on
the Norwegian brown lemmings, the main debate isn't over whether or not they go
into the sea; the argument is over whether the rush to the sea is deliberate. It's
hard to tell if the lemmings ever still run this way anymore, or if the experts are only
discussing something they did in the past, but, either way, hardly anybody
believes they are or were killing themselves on purpose as a way to make the
herd more manageable. This means any claim of lemmings being suicidal is a myth.

The dispute over why they do it
comes down to two possibilities. Are the lemmings intentionally heading for the
sea because their memories tell them there's a good place to live within
swimming distance of the shoreline, or are they surprised when they run out of
dry land and only plunge into the water because there's no other place to go? As far as this aspect of the debategoes, the most damning comment
you can find regarding a possible deliberate
rush to the sea is it's "yet to be proven." I couldn't find any experts saying
the Norwegian lemmings didn't make massive plunges into the water at all, and,
even if the "yet to be proven" comment was
applied to the plunge itself, instead of to the motivation behind it, it would
still be a far cry from totally debunking the story.

At this point the stories of
lemmings running to their destruction becomes much more feasible, so the really
thought-provoking part is the aforementioned debate about why they might do it.
One theory seems entirely logical, while the other seems a bit far-fetched, but
just in case you are ready to discard the far-fetched one as being too implausible
to even consider, let me pass on another interesting tidbit. The idea of creatures
being born with ancient memories is commonly held amongst a wide variety of
animal behaviorists.

Scientifically speaking, this theory of
animals being born with previous memories from their ancestors already imbedded in their brains goes a
long way to explain what "instincts" really are, and it definitely helps explain
how certain canine classes can be born with such things as an inbred herding
ability. Therefore, until any wiser experts in the future can definitely
disprove this possibility, there is no rational reason to automatically throw
it away.

All of which brings us back to humans
having a never-ending willingness to accept whichever theory gets the most
press. Unfortunately, another odd human quirk is, once a new theory is accepted,
there's always a mad dash to throw away all previous ideas. This means the very
real possibility lemmings in Norway may have once made these plunges into the
sea (even if outside factors we haven't yet considered might have prevented
them from doing so recently), are completely overshadowed by the experts making
the most noise. Currently the overriding noise we hear is lemmings don't plunge
to their deaths at all - period, exclamation point, and end of discussion.

Now, I ask you, is there any good
reason we should accept this final opinion? Let's look at one of the primary sources
discounting the lemming plunge - National Geographic.

National Geographic experts may not
like the possibility now, but National Geographic helped get the story
publicized in the first place. In 1918 they published an article about lemmings,
and they specifically said brown lemmings in Norway would periodically make
massive rushes into the sea. From what I've been able to discover, their first
opinion has much more plausibility than their lemming-like attempt to jump into
the sea of public opinion now. Oh my, here we have yet another case of people
with actual credibility upon a subject just surrendering to public opinion
instead. Big surprise, huh?

I find the whole controversy immensely
amusing, but, beyond that, this also is pretty solid proof you should never
trust any experts until you research their so-called evidence for yourself. I
haven't developed a firm belief about lemmings jumping into the sea yet, but I
have developed the opinion experts on banded lemmings who don't like the Disney
movie should not be used as the sole basis for deciding what brown lemmings may
or may not do in Norway.

This is why you should never totally
trust anything you are being told has the support of 'experts' behind it, and
this is especially true anytime the experts are being touted for political
purposes. I remember a quote I heard a long time ago, "The primary purpose of a
government is to keep its people scared." I no longer remember who was credited
with saying it, but it is very true. The government constantly uses fear to
garner public support, and if it weren't for the fact most people are incredibly easy to scare we wouldn't
have so many stupid laws now. That is one major lesson I wish all schoolkids were
being taught.

You know what the best part has been
about the whole 'lemmings plunging into the sea' story being debunked, though?
The animal rights people never picked up on it. If they had, the narrative
would be entirely different. Rather than calling it all a myth, they'd be
raising a ruckus over nature once more having been despoiled by mankind.

You can bet their stories would all
be about how endangered the lemmings are now because of man-made chemicals
massively thinning the herds, or perhaps they'd tell grotesque tales of
insensitive Norwegians spending the summer months just clubbing the poor things
until they were sterile, but no matter what fantasy they would come up with to
explain this sad demise, there no doubt would be countless anecdotes of the
once magnificent migrations being gone forever because of human interference.
Oh, the lamentations! No more thunderous pitter-pats from mighty herds of tiny,
little feet; no more fearsome squeaks from these wonderfully free and glorious
creatures of the earth. Gone! Gone! All forever gone! The planet itself
trembles with outrage.

Well, at least we can be grateful we were spared all that.

PS. Life to America!
