71. Trust me, I'm Canis familiaris, says the feral dog running with the coyotes...

I'm just like your family pet.

Trust me, I work for the shepherd says the sheepdog chasing lambs into trucks to be turned into Easter dinners. I help the shepherd take care of you and protect you from nasty coyotes....

It's not that I mind paying dues by being sheared every time I turn around, but at some point we have to quit acting like sheep with Stockholm Syndrome.

It's going to hurt the politicians when voters look elsewhere in the party, but it's time to look at electing leaders that are distinctly more Ovine, leaders that will actually work for the sheep and forget about the damned elite canids altogether.

What difference does it make to have your throat cuts after being led to slaughter by a sheepdog, or having it torn out by a dog that's gone feral? Deads dead.
