“The world operates on merit”

That’s something worth remembering!

If someone works hard all his life and saves, shouldn’t he be able to pass it along to his offspring? If not, why bother building society?

Damn animal inequality! Why aren't all of them King of the Jungle? Why can't they just all get along as equals?

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows
They’re fast but they’re lazy, and sleep in green meadows

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
Well, I’m a tiger when I want love
But I’m a snake if we disagree

Just say a word and the boys will be right there
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn’t be bolder
I’ll write on your tombstone, I thank you for dinner
This game that we animals play is a winner

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love
I’m a snake if we disagree, yes

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And he who made kittens put snakes in their grasp
He’s a lover of life but a player of pawns
Yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
To light up His Jungle as play is resumed
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love
And I’m a snake when we disagree, yes

Let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
Well, I’m a tiger when I want love
I’m a snake when we disagree

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love

I've seen a lion kill...in the wild (Kruger National Park,South Africa). It was four lionesses vs an adult wildebeest. I think that there was more than a bit of inequality in that little drama. And once they started eating one could notice a bit of inequality among the lions as well!

So if you see a family of squirrels living large, burn their burrows down, remove their nut trees and introduce a family of coyotes to the area to make it fair and keep it real

Unlike American humans, wolves don’t pick the weakest to lead the pack.

“Inequality is a threat to our social fabric, but it’s not just a human problem,” argued the World Economic Forum...

The private jet crowd is worried about inequality? That's pretty...forgive me...rich.

Marx and Engles were both obsessed with the idea of ancient man being communist, ie no hierarchy in class. This is completely debunked now, there’s always been chiefs and workers back before homo Sapien-primates, but they still will believe it.

Oh dear!

Pray what can be done?

Somebody please explain to the animals that roosters can lay eggs, hens can crow in the morning, that sort of thing.

Has the balance and interrelationship of predators and prey been suddenly discovered? Is that inequality? Does anyone in their right mind give a rat’s a$$? Is using the phrase “rat’s a$$” inherent inequality? Is the only society that is still composed of a majority of sane people found near the headwaters of the Amazon?

Who in their right mind reads Salon, or the NY TIMES???

What Phu King nonsense!!!

Science is going totally woke - and the real benefits to humans will be negative and reduce prosperity, growth, and actual “equality”.
