The Corrupt Government You DESERVE

[Ben Feinstein]

"Leave me alone, I don't have time for that political nonsense!" the fox
said. "I worked all day and I'm tired and I want to go home and relax!"

"Look, I'm tired too," the eagle said. "We're all tired! But we've all
got to get together, and storm the capitol, and demand change---demand they
do something---and if they don't do something, at once, then physically
throw them out of there! If we let them stay even a few more months
they'll ruin this forest forever!"

"Ohhhh, you're crazy! Go away! Leave me alone!"

When at the end of the work day you're too exhausted to think, to protest,
to get angry, to do anything more than sit in front of your television and
watch a situation comedy ...

They've got you where they want you, and you've gotten exactly what you
deserve.
