Reflections on the News

I see a man calling out in the streets, "Look at that donkey over there! If he moves, you know he's just evil. But if he stands still, why that cunning devil is dastardly evil! You know I'm right, because I told you! Now watch me as I overturn the laws of God's creation and perform miracles by my own power for you! You know I will, and if I don't you're a traitor!"

Then I see half of the people pass by, patiently waiting for him to just go away, while half of them are listening to every word he speaks because he makes them think they're obeying the law when they give the money they steal over to him. Meanwhile he stands on his soapbox full of sick and starving widows, orphans and immigrants.
