In my best Gomer Pyle accent, surprise, surprise, surprise.
Not unlike Lucy with the football. Also not unlike the frog who agreed to help the scorpion cross the river by allowing him to ride on his back after the scorpion convinced him he would not sting him, observing that if the scorpion did so, both would drown. Midway across, the scorpion stings the frog. “Why would you do this?! Now we will both die!!!” “It’s my nature.” We know how these people operate. Any policy decision that relies upon them operating differently is flawed at its premise.
