‘The Cycle of Democracy’

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.

Can I feed the snake to a hawk?

Absolutely not.

That reminds me of a most gruesome and repulsing thing I saw yesterday. It happened in this movie, called "Sssss" (LOL), which was about a man with a passion for snakes and a penchant for turning his lab assistants into them. But anyway, this jerk was breaking into the room of the scientist's daughter by climbing into her window, and her pet snake started attacking him. He and the snake fell out the window, and got in a bit of a scuffle. Well, the most disgusting thing was this:

The guy got his hands around the snake, just below its head, and he started strangling the snake, bending it at the 'neck', like he was trying to snap the thing in half, until it finally died. I am not the squeemish type, especially not when it is just a movie, but the way that looked and seeing the aftermath of the snake just lying there lifeless on the ground was really horrid. I think I have thought of snakes as invincible for some reason, perhaps that had something to do with why I found it so appalling. I think the snakes name was Henry or Harry.
