This is a post made by someone named “RJB”. I tried to figure out how to contact this person, but was unsuccessful. I hope they don’t mind the reprint. This struck me hard today….
Lemmings are little rodent creatures known for migrating in mass and plunging off of rocky cliffs into frigid ocean waters and waves crashing on the rocks below.
But consider this: Not ALL lemmings are obliged to commit mass suicide. If they did, the entire species would have died out long ago. So, the survival of the lemmings depends entirely upon a few not being “good lemmings” and doing as most lemmings do. The average lemming considers self preservation to be “un-lemminglike”, and yet every lemming owes his very existence to lemmings who came before them that went against the herd and refused to plunge over those cliffs, and to certain death.
America today has become a “lemming nation”, determined to commit mass national suicide. Great pressure is put against those few of us who are determined not to do so to follow the mad herd. Indeed, those of us who most strongly resist going alng with our mass national suicide are punished severely, and characterized as “enemies”, when in fact, we are the only hope of America’s continued survival.
Therein lies the essential madness in America today, that those who would “go along to get along”, even if that means going right over the cliff to certain death, are portrayed as good citizens while those of us who would dare go against herd, and opt for survival, are it’s enemies for doing so.
The essential truth is however something altogether different, and that is that every lemming owes his very existence to those lemming who opted to go against the mass madness and opt for continued survival. The truth is then that while most lemmings are their own worst enemies, the few that go against that insane majority are the species best friends.
I found a web page and video about real lemmings. Check it out.
Whenever these spasms start, my teeth fracture bad. Dang!
