It was very rude, mean spirited and unnecessary.
Raymond's racism has gotten to me a bit, but I should not have attacked him in that way.

I thought it was funny. Some of these nut jobs need to get their attitude stuck right back in their faces.

I figured out the answer !


MODERN VERSION:

&n bsp;The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is 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.

MSNBC, CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, 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.

Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King 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 & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for faili ng to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants 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.

After recieveing LESS THAN ACCURATE REPORTS George Bush would attack on the advisement of Dick Cheney, some stupid hillbilly would be made a national hero but the black girl will be ignored. Prematurely "Mission Accomplished" will be declared. Private contracting companies get rich... richer. Troops die, return to crappy VA health care. Blackwater USA, now Xe, finally gets busted, but being that eric Prince is so higly connnected still operates with high dollar contracts.

After a 7 year "Dotfa" George and his party are thrown out and leave a basket of shit for the new POTUS. Immediately there are promises, bent, fractured, broken? The government starts to take over banks, automotive companies. The FNG in the house must continue the previously mentioned Pre-Maturely declared accomplished Mission? :shrug: Health care, Czars, Birth Certificates, H1N1, White House Servants, Micheles Pants worn during a vacation... WTF :142smilie all are distractions from the war that started over the re-distribution of wealth. Which in fact is true, the middle class pay for the the mega rich to get richer.


GAS AND OIL PRICES ARE STILL DROPPING AND WE ARE 4 DAYS AWAY FROM THE 11TH ! JUST FUCKING GREAT I WILL BE IN A HIGH RISE HOTEL IN LAS VEGAS THAT WEEKEND

I wish my dad would, he's 67 and pushing himself too damn hard for this one last Gold Strike. He has already hit Gold 3 times, but the stubborn bastard just keeps going like he is 40 trying to get up the hill. But I would put him up against any 67 year any day, tough SOB, can still drive a golf ball about 250 consistently, straight down the center, I do the same, but it's on the other fairway or in someones kitchen :shrug: :mj07:

I think I'd like having you as a neighbor Lumi... although the civil defense sirens, 50,000 watt rotating spots and coiled barbwire security fences would get old after a while.

This is for you illuminati !!O-K for a few days,lets get back to work,your posting in the "At the tracks" forum have been missed... I have to go to other places to get the info... It was a lot easier when you posted all of your info and I mean all of it !!
I want to say that the fools that talk about the price of gas being cheap are tools for the corporations... news media reported yesterday that gas was 1.00 plus a gallon cheaper than last year,what the fuck does that mean, go back to the year 2000,and compare the price of gas,the news media are fucking bought and paid for .
Gas prices brought to you by the Bush/Cheney regime with the illegal wars pushed upon the american people by liars that have gotten almost 5,000 soldiers killed,thousands badly wounded,hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's dead and millions displaced are a huge part of the reason why we are in our economic slow down, recession,soon to be depression, if we aren't already in a depression.
The fucking cost of these illegal WARS is what the people should be talking about, in lives and our national treasure.One big fucking joke to the corporations that sell this SHIT !!!
Read your fucking history, no way to win in Afganistan.
Here at home,our news media will never show you how bad it is for millions of people in the worst times of their lives, more shit on the news than a person can possibly absorb, most is meaningless and most is there to make you dumber and dumber and dumber and the funny thing is that it just keeps getting worst....:violin:
Our country is in deep shit and if you take a good look at who's running the show then if you are a realist then you will come to the conclusion that it's just not going to get any better.
My history tells me that the day that WOODROW WILSON sold the currency of the nation to the the big BANKS or better yet the big CROOKS,was one of the worst days in history, from the beginning of time the MONEY WHORES have fucked everyone in sight, no one is safe.
Now we have a WAR on terror which will go down in history as the worst day ever. This SOB George Bush declared the war and the results will be debated forever.A war with no end in sight , whats that about, a way for the pentagon to play and plan wars forever and eventually the take over of the world.
Wars being fought by this country are sold to you by the BANKS AND BANKERS , SPONSORED BY GREEDY CORPORATIONS,PRODUCED BY CROOKED POLITICIANS AND DIRECTED BY THE PENTAGON.
Big Brother,Big Government, in control, telling you or forcing you to do what they think is best for you.
Wake up you fucking sheep your freedoms are slowly being taken away and you will never get them back.If the world holds on for another 10 to 20 years then remember that a crazy man at mad jacks political forum warned that the government is slowly taking over and the american dream is just that .... a dream !!
