Today’s post is an excerpt from #TransformationTuesday: Tadpole Edition, Originally posted 4-10-18

Ever wonder what made America great? I think it was the fact the country was founded by people who possessed the three defining characteristics of the Age of Enlightenment.

Reason:grenouillen rational frog

Skepticism:skeptical frog

Individualism:frog

Three characteristics that are pure anathema to oppressive authoritarian regimes.

Sadly, I note, these are three characteristics growing rarer and hence more valuable with each subsequent generation of frogs.

How to boil a frog:

Place in cool water and gradually turn up the heat.frog-fable-brought-to-boilIf you don’t believe me, ask the Australians.

Reason:

Endangered perhaps but still armed and dangerous.

More like distracted and disinterested. We have become a very passive and submissive country that is content to allow government to run their lives.
