Rattlesnake Logic

Now that's good Texas logic, and it works.

  

Rattlesnake Logic

After the Boston bombing the news media has spent days and weeks trying to 
determine why these men did what they did.  They  want to know what America 
did to make these brothers so angry with us.  They want to know why these 
men were not arrested before  they did something so terrible. The media is 
in a tizzy about this new era of home grown radicals, and about why they 
could live among us and still hate us.

  A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me:

  “Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us.  I 
have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch.
  I have  killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes 
in  the barn, in the shop and on the driveway.
  In fact,  I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.

  I kill  rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject 
me  with poison. I don’t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me;
  I know:  It will bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what 
rattlesnakes  do.  I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake…I just kill it.
  I don’t  try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to 
live  with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me…I just kill 
them.  I don’t  quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other 
snakes are,  because (a) it won’t tell me, and (b) I already know they live 
on my  place.  So, I  just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.

  I don’t  look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a 
non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion,  I 
accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at  the 
time.  Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more  are lurking out 
there in the brush.  In my lifetime I will never be  able to rid my place of 
rattlesnakes.  Do I fear them? No!

  Do I  respect what they can do to me? Yes!  And because of that respect I 
give them the fair justice they deserve...I kill them....”

  Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that 
these jihadists' are just being like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly!




  In God We Trust!
