Guest Anonymous Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Once upon a time, on a farm in Texas, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat. She called all of her neighbors together and said, "If we plant is wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?" "Not I," said the cow. "Not I," said the duck. "Not I," said the pig. "Not I," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. And so she did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain. "Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen. "Not I," said the duck. "Out of my classification," said the pig. "I'd lose my seniority," said the cow. "I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did. At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake the bread! ?" asked the little red hen. "That would be overtime for me," said the cow. "I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck. "I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig. "If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose. "Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves." "Excess profits!" cried the cow. "Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. "I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. The pig just grunted in disdain. And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities. Then a government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must not be so greedy." "But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly," said the agent. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle," And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand," But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the "party" and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared.....as long as there was free bread that "the rich" were paying for. Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs. Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for memories from two people, who for eight years, repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything. IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY, OR WHAT? Link to post Share on other sites

jack24bauer24 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Did you guys hear the one about the republican cronie who was given an important government appointment when his previous job was running an Arabain Horse association...Lol.As A Canadian, its pretty funny that in the States, gay marriage, stem cell research (anti the research based on ridiculous religious beliefs), and Janet Jackson's boobs are more important than health care, the economy, a fake war, and the fact that the President of the United States is a complete moron.Bill Clinton lies about a BJ and faced impeachment, George Bush lies about a war, and has shown, over, and over, and over, and over, and over that he's completely incompetent, and he won re-election.Good thing the US spent billions and billions and billions to invade two third world countries, let wouldn't spend a few million at home to reinforce some levies that it was public record would break if a level 4 hurricane hit.Makes you wonder.

That's a pretty good one, too. Because, it was bad intelligence after all, wasn't it? It wasn't deliberate. It couldn't have been. Link to post Share on other sites
Username 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hey guys, I hear some people involved in politics may not be paragons of virtue! Please pass on this breaking news to everyone you see!The vast majority of politicians on all sides of every argument care about little more than the well-being of themselves and their closest supporters. Let's not delude ourselves into believing it's only the party we like least that acts this way. Link to post Share on other sites
