Here's a story...

[capco]

... a true story to show just who we’ve become:

Once there was a native tribe that lived in peace and harmony for thousands of years, and every day the routine was the same: hunters would go out from the tribe and when they returned, the bounty from the hunt was shared equally by all members of the tribe. No one went hungry when food was available, not even the weak, the sick, or the elderly.

One day, the most skilled hunter said, “I’m the best hunter. I kill more than my share of deer. Why should I share the bounty of my hunt?” And from that day forward he began storing his meat in a high mountain cave. And then other skilled hunters said, “We kill more than our fair share of deer too. Shouldn’t we have the right to keep the bounty of our hunt?” And they too began to store their meat in high mountain caves.

And then, something began to happen in the tribe that had never happened before. Some people, especially the old, the weak, and the sick, began to go hungry while others were well-fed. In fact, it became so commonplace that no one even thought it unusual that some were starving while others had more than what they needed.

And what’s even more strange, the tribal elders began to teach their young to emulate the hoarding habits of these few.

Now that story isn’t true because it happened. It’s true because it’s happening. We are that tribe.

I ask that those active in the raid discussions really take a good look at this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
