Wild Kingdom


My yard is a zoo. Today I heard a lady scream and ran out to see nature in action. After a couple of shots, I decided to interfere. I like frogs better than snakes. So I grabbed a stick and lightly poked the bush near the snake. He got freaked out and took off. Then I put the bleeding frog in a box and moved him to the other side of the yard and washed him off with some water. I came out later and he was hopping up and down with a big smile on his face. He looked at me, batted an eye and said, "ribbit."

The people of the middle east who are not out to kill resemble the frog. The snake resembles the islamo-fascists and I am American. Pacifism would have resulted in the frog dying and the snake gaining strength and confidence. I am aware that I interfered with the natural progression of things but I am also content. I am proactive. And history will read as such.

Unfortunately, some of us are not outside the animal kingdom. How do you appeal to the higher conciousness of an animal? You don't. You kill it. The frog was attacked and I defended it. It's not really an argument as much as showing another side of the coin that is "unpopular" among "intellects" today.

Yeah, my employers will be disappointed with the number of hours I billed today . . .

But I like the snake/frog/fly train of thought. Everything feeds on something.

I also like shostopa's use of a photograph and moment from his day to relate an abstract argument to the group.
