The Lizards A spacecraft, a flying saucer landed on earth, and out of it marched down a silver robot, a hundred feet tall, and said “I come in peace”, adding after a long moment of grinding, “take me to your Lizards”. An experienced extra-terrestrial, Ford (as in Ford Foundation), explained this strange request: “The robot comes from a very ancient democracy, you see”. “You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?” “No,” said Ford, “Nothing so simple. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.” “I thought you said it was a democracy.” “I did,“ said Ford. “It is.” “You mean they actually vote for the lizards?” “Oh yes,“ said Ford, “Of course!” “Why?” “Because if they did not vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happened to them. They're completely wrong of course, but someone's got to say it.” "Why would someone have to say that if it's not true, as you say?" "Because the people often need to be told lies in order to keep them doing what the lizards want them to do." (Please share this story with at least 10 1/2 others. "Anti-semites" constitute half-persons, that is to say, individuals that secular Jews, Judaizers, neo-conservatives and anybody else who has been conditioned to think like them don't like. You must send this to at least one half-person, and may send it to more than one of them. You are also encouraged to continue the story. If you do so, please highlight your addition in some color other than the previous addition. Warning: The last person who didn't share this story with 10 1/2 others woke up with a lizard in her bed, is now deathly afraid of anything that crawls on the ground, and at night especially believes her husband is really a lizard in disguise, all this despite being on powerful medication.)
