Common Sense Commentary:
"Go to the ant, thou sluggard (grasshopper);
consider her ways and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer or ruler,
provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
How long wilt thou sleep oh sluggard? .... So shall thy poverty come...."
Proverbs 6:6-11
The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different .... Two Versions ...
Two Different Morals OLD VERSION
The ant works
hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and
dances, drinks beer and
smokes dope, and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm
and well fed.
The grasshopper has
no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
UPDATED 2012 VERSION
The ant works hard
in the withering heat and the rain all summer long,
building his house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs
and dances, drinks beer
and smokes dope, and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls
a press conference and demands
to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is
cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, and ABC
show up to
provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper
next to a video of the
ant in his
comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned
by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth,
this poor grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears
on Oprah with the grasshopperand everybody
cries when they sing,
'It's Not Easy Being Green'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of
the ant's house, where the
news stations film the SEIU group singing,
'We shall overcome.'
Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright
has the group kneel down to pray for the
grasshopper's life and safety,
while he damns the ants.

President Obama
condemns the ant and blames
President Bush 43, President Bush 41,
President Reagan, capitalism, and the Pope
for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid
exclaim in an interview with Larry King
that the ant hasgotten rich off the back
of the grasshopper, and both call for
an immediate tax hike on the ant
to make him pay his 'fair share'.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &
Pro-Grasshopper, Anti-Ant Act
retroactive to the beginning of
the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate
number of green bugs
and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes,
his home is confiscated
by the Government Green Czar
and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper
and his free-loading friends
finishing up the last bits of the ant's food,
while the government
house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be
the ant's old house, crumbles around them because
the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow,
never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead
in a drug related incident, and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle,
once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses
bringing down the rest of the free world with it.
