Rats (Move it to Miscellaneous)

[rayheinrich]

This whole story about rats could be a metaphor about war
The way people are afraid of terrorists and communists so they pay taxes and curse the axis of evil, but what would they say if they saw a man die? They would be partially to blame...

This phrase:

"I saw a pregnant mouse writhing with a broken spine."

Is more than enough, when taken literally, to burn our collective (and individual) soul.
As metaphor it's interpretations are both terrifying and uncountable.


P.S. And yes, the 'terrorist' ploy of creating an endless war
to gain money, power, and limit civil liberties is even more
efficient than promoting the fear of 'communists' in the
'cold war'.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
