Sometimes I lose faith in large segments of the human race. You know. It happens at those times when I hear comments from the likes of Richard Mourdock , the Indiana Republican running for Senate. But not only his comment. No. The outpouring of “support” which follows simply makes it worse.
I feel despair. Anguish.
So…. to cheer me up…. a walk on the lighter side.
Once there was a King who was loved by all of his subjects, especially because of the hunting excursions he shared with them. As will happen, one day he died and his eldest son took the throne. Now this new king was an animal-lover to the core, and immediately outlawed all forms of hunting and fishing. His subjects accepted this for only a short time before they ousted him.
This is a truly significant event, because it’s the first time a reign was called on account of the game.
