The story of the ant and the grasshopper

OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
long, building his house and laying up supplies for
the winter The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and
laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come
winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper
has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!


MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
long, building his house and laying up supplies for
the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and
laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come
winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press
conference and demands to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold
and starving. CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide
pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video
of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled
with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this
be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor
grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog
appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody
cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the
ant's house where the news stations film the group
singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then has the group
kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Tom Daschle & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with
Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the
back of the grasshopper, and both call for an
immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his
"fair share." Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic
Equity and Anti-Grasshopper
Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The
ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate
number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay
his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the
government. Hillary gets her old law firm to represent
the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant,
and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges
that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent
welfare recipients. The ant loses the case. The story
ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last
bits of the ant's food while the government house he
is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house,
crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper
is found dead in a drug related incident and
the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of
spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Republican

Yes, because everything is that black and white. You are an idiot Chris.

I think its also worth pointing out that Republicans also use reiligon as a major point in thier platform. Reilgon is all about paying your share and donating to thoses in need. Ironic, isn't it?

yeah that's way too black and white and presents an extreme way of looking at the issues. that extreme way is ironically the SAME method that the grasshoper used to gain sympathy.

even though there are plenty of poor people out there who need to get off their asses, it's not like the poor are just automatically kicking out rich people and stealing their mansions.

You are really ****ed in the head Chris.

wow, This kid never ceases to amaze me.

*cough*ceases

You are really ****ed in the head Chris.

Just cuz he isnt some liberal ***** doesnt mean he is ****ed in the head.....




:crucified

Someone e-mailed this to me, I just thought it was funny - you people are crazy

It's a joke - Damn you people are way too serious

and nuno don't act like you know me, by talking to me a little on an internet forum

Also I have no problem admitting I'm a little crazy

Someone e-mailed this to me, I just thought it was funny - you people are crazy

It's a joke - Damn you people are way too serious

I guess the posts about becoming a one man police force were jokes too?

no, they were not - and I'm sorry that I have balls and wanted to do something,
I have no time to do something like that, so I stick to my normal life
