"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

I can hardly wait to show the girls this story. The biggest brought me a HUGE grasshopper today so I could see its teeth, since I told her while we were watering the horse that I'd never seen grasshopper teeth before. They're a lot smaller where I come from. Wow! Their jaws go the opposite way from ours. Then, she fed him to the chickens. They're gonna love learning about these grasshopper gears.
