Although NOT factual, I am going to use the Lemming and it's mass suicides to construct a theory for America today! First, let me assure you that I love America and I love the freedoms that America has birthed. Yet, there are elements to those freedoms that some people refuse to accept responsibility for! Let's look at abortion or birth control; just because we are Americans and our freedoms allow it, we should not be engaging in premarital sex. It is a sin and leads to numerous other types of perverted behaviors. Instead a myth or legend was composed in the 1950/60 love free era which allowed Americans to do this because of our freedoms This has brought about abortion, STDS, AIDS and other proverbial prisons
The Lemming is a rodent not unlike a rat, hamster or others - " the super family Muroidea, which also includes the rats, mice, hamsters, and gerbils."
This myth like many others is assumed to be correct but it is not. We see the same truth about the theory of evolution and the theory of higher education. Someone, anyone, (Disney even) creates a theory and America is right there to believe it. This is the prison that America lives in today - The Theory of Deserve. We deserve credit, We deserve sex, We deserve pornography; but we refuse to take responsibility for those same freedom theories.
" The myth of lemming mass suicide is long-standing and has been popularized by a number of factors: 1955, Carl Barks drew an Uncle Scrooge comic with the title "The Lemming with the Locket". This comic, which was inspired by a 1954 National Geographic article, 1958 Disney film White Wilderness ."
Just because you read it in a newspaper does not make it true. How much more proof do you need then the last few years that newspapers cannot be trusted either. Like The Lemming, newspapers have followed the almighty dollar of the cliffs of integrity and now they have none! The NY Times, Blair and Rather , all caught up in the story and walked off the cliff to their death - the death of honesty, integrity and trustworthiness!
" Due to their association with this odd behavior, lemming suicide is a frequently-used metaphor in reference to people who go along unquestioningly with popular opinion......."
Like the Lemmings, We Americas have went along long enough! We have went along with liberal politicians, we have went along with liberal educators and we have went along with liberal judges and lawyers! America, like the proverbial Lemming needs to stop following Liberals off their cliffs of insanity! We do not need them to teach us math and the math of economics. We do not need them to teach us ethics, we have ethics and we know which ethics are fair, and theirs are not. Oh, they can twist their words and use tough speech but in truth we know who they are now we must stop following them and lead them to true freedom!
