It Can'T Happen Here

Fill-in-the-Blanks
        Use permanent ink


The ____________s are clearly inferior
  To us ___________s, who are far superior
All ____________s are corrupt, filthy vermin
  So, it's up to us to determine --

How best to solve the problem of the ___________s existence
  Ha, ha!  We'll eliminate their very means of subsistence
Then we'll stick all those ____________s into a tight, confined place
  An unsanitary ghetto, an exclusive club for their race

We'll starve the damn __________s 'till they eat their own feces
  And that'll be the end of the ____________s as a species

Sometimes things have to be said even though not pretty. There's power there. If there's one thing I've learned in my life it's that, if someone says it can't happen or won't happen...it can and will.

There you go! If it 'can't happen, then it surely will! Great observation. Thanks, Gershon

Actually, not rats, but your choice of a race of people which has been likened (by some) to rats. More than one choice available there, unfortunately. Thanks, Linda! :) gw

Really?! A Dr. Seuss book like this? Interesting,... and sad, as you point out. Thanks, Ilene. :) gw

Powerful stuff, but frightening too. The worlds gone mad.

It sure seems mad to me too. Let's hang in there, Tom. :) gw

This is not the time for division, but some just see anything different as the enemy, they would rather 'dominate' than do the work to find a solution.

I agree with you. So many people are "My way or the highway," instead of working together. Thanks, Gershon
