Two Rights May Make a Wrong

Robin Hood felt that he was doing good
Redistributing income as he could --
  But the man in green tights
  Violated the rights --
Of the rich to throw away all that food

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/1/2019 9:12:00 PM Yes, and how awful was that? Probably traumatized the poor rich dears. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 2/2/2019 11:20:00 PM Certainly -- tsk, tsk -- awash in all their wealth...

Alexis Y. Date: 1/31/2019 4:04:00 PM Hi Gershon, I like what you came up with for the contest. It was well written and clever. Although he was doing good he broke laws to do it. I looks like a winner to me. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/31/2019 7:15:00 PM Thanks, Alexis. You're right: he broke laws to get his way. Does that remind you of the Democrats and Republicans of today. The ends never do justify the means. Brutus and Cassius found out the hard way in Ancient Rome (when they murdered Caesar). Nothing's changed... Best wishes, Gershon

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/31/2019 3:53:00 PM :) Yes, let's just call it income redistribution. Very clever punch line too, Gershon. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 1/31/2019 7:16:00 PM Ha, Ha, -- I.C. sanitizes what is actually criminal theft, doesn't it? Airbrushes the crime right out of existence. It's the new American way, I guess... Thanks for the insight and for your support, Carolyn! :) gw
