- Dictators who positively go out of their way to force misery, tears and fears, upon their countryman's lives.
Politicians who, in dealing with dictators, have a wishbone where a backbone should be.
An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.
As they went along, they passed some people who remarked
it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,
so they changed positions.
Later, they passed some people who remarked,
"What a shame. He makes that little boy walk."
They then decided they both would walk.
Soon they passed some more people who thought they were
stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride.
So they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how
awful it was to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man said they were probably right,
so they decided to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the donkey
and it fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story:
If you try to please everyone,
you might as well kiss your ass goodbye.
