A whimsical analogy

Submitted By: dwieb1@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Should there be any confusion about my recent posts, I’d like to offer an analogy:

Suppose there’s a duck and a great many wabbits. Some wabbits take a liking to the duck and how it quacks. Others are repelled by the quacking and think those who like the duck are confused or crazy. Nature guides complicate the matter by referring to the duck as just another wabbit, and this drives the others nuts. Yet the nature guides keep doing this even after two game wardens identify the quacker as a duck.

Here’s my point: there is nothing inherently evil or stupid about the wabbits who like the duck, and the others might stop twisting their tails in a bunch if the guides could bring themselves to call it a duck.

To push this tortured analogy out a bit further, if the wabbits decide to put the duck in charge it will just fly off and feather it’s own nest.
