I've read Vyan's theory that we're up against a bunch of conspiracy nuts. Reasonable idea.
Other folks say our opponents are, at bottom, simply racists. More than enough evidence to back that one up.
But I'm not sure you can really classify our opponents as one group.
Well, maybe one. And figuring out which group isn't hard.
Where have you heard things like this before?
You can't tell me where I can't play with my toy cows!
I don't like them! They can't come in the lunch room!
Don't tell me to take turns!
My dad got all As; how come I have to study? You have to give me As!
I want all the cake! Why do the other kids get cake?
How come I have to pay for the movie! I want the movie!
I wanna! I don't wanna!
I hate him! How come he gets to be president?
He's on my side of the country!
I hate you! You're Hitler! Well, you're Double Hitler! You're Thousand Times Hitler! You're Infinity Hitler! You're Infinity Times Infinity Hitler!
Teacherrrrrrrr! He called me Infinity Hitler!
It's pretty clear we're not dealing with all Area 51 freakos or Klansmen or bond trading one-percenters.
We're dealing with children. The worst sort of children, who believe that they get what they want, no matter what, and they're prepared to scream, yell, kick the floor, bite, shriek, lie, steal, blame everyone else and call us every name that ever got them a paddling when dad heard 'em say it.
Don't get me wrong, 'Pubs. I'm not saying you're all evil or heartless or haters.
I'm just saying you'd better learn quick that there are rules everyone has to follow, that everyone gets cake and nobody butts in line.
I'm saying you better grow up.
Or you're gonna be put in the corner.
