Every night, 10 men met at a restaurant for dinner. At the end of the meal, the bill would arrive. They owed 贄 for the food that they shared. Every night they lined up in the same order at the cash register. The first four men paid nothing at all. The fifth, grumbling about the unfairness of the situation, paid ũ. The sixth man, feeling very generous, paid ū. The next three men paid ů, ผ and ย, respectively. The last man was required to pay the remaining balance, ๋. He realized that he was forced to pay for not only his own meal but the unpaid balance left by the first five men. The 10 men were quite settled into their routine when the restaurant threw them into chaos by announcing that it was cutting its prices. Now dinner for the 10 men would only cost . This clearly would not affect the first four men. They still ate for free. The fifth and sixth men both claimed their piece of the ฤ right away. The fifth decided to forgo his ũ contribution. The sixth pitched in Ū. The seventh man deducted Ū from his usual payment and paid ŭ. The eighth man paid ű. The ninth man paid ผ, leaving the last man with a bill of ไ. Outside of the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings, and angry outbursts began to erupt. The sixth man yelled, "I only got ũ out of the ฤ, and he got ů, "pointing at the last man. The fifth man joined in. "Yeah! I only got ũ too. It is unfair that he got seven times more than me." The seventh man cried, "Why should he get ů back when I only got Ū?" The first four men followed the lead of the others: "We didn't get any of the ฤ. Where is our share?" The nine men formed an outraged mob, surrounding the 10th man. The nine angry men carried the 10th man up to the top of a hill and lynched him. The next night, the nine remaining men met at the restaurant for dinner. But when the bill came, there was no one to pay it. (Don Dodson, Ft. Worth, March 4, 2001)

Too bad that is a piss poor analogy. Sure, at first glance it would sure make anyone angry. But lets think of this differently.Those first four men, who never paid anything, didn't have anything to eat, but just drank the free water. So, they owned nothing to begin with. That fifth man ordered a small side order of fry's. The sixth man had a small sandwhich and some fry's. The seventh man had the biggest burger the restaurant had, the eigth had that and a big milkshake, and the ninth had all that and a nice desert. The tenth man came in, demanded his own section of the restaurant, had two cooks just for him, had fresh caviar, some wine, and the nicest steak they had. So when it came time to pay the bill, they paid fairly. Remember, not all dinneres are created equil  But the part about lynching the tenth guy because the other's didn't get back as much is a pretty fair argument. ------------------

demonk you are trying to find hidden meanings where there are none. why don't you just accept the fact that you are wrong?

he is trying to add external consequences, which he imagined on his own (i.e. subjective). why? because he doesn't want to believe that republicans actually do make a fuck load of more sense then liberals.
