Mice and men

In their simplicity and their confusion about realities, the ruling class folk fail to understand that, whilst death might be the opposite of life, life is by no means the opposite of death. By way of educating them correctly in this matter, Frit, in his wisdom, recommends they visit their local pet shop where they are to buy mice in a cage. Arriving home, it will indeed be apparent that death is soon on its way if no food is given. But as soon as food is given it very quickly dawns that the true opposite of death is not “life”, but “more life”. A bigger cage is soon needed, a bigger room, a bigger house . . .

Afghastlystan is such a cage. Those who rule us, in all their kindness and eagerness to get their hands into the pockets or the pants of the gullible and the young, have been pouring food into Afghastlystan for more than three decades, breeding Afghastlystanies at a most irresponsible rate. In the list of population growth rates, Afghastlystan is now third (3.85 %).

Soon be too few Kalashnikovs to go round. Thank you the ruling class!
