Stay away from the fire

Tim Fish Here. It's been a few days since my last post. I don't have a lot of new news, but we'll see what pours out when my fingers start moving.

I read a new book called "Animal Farm" written by George Orwell. It's a good book and an easy read. It's about a bunch of animals that run off the farmer and take over the farm. They begin as Socialists with a pig leader named 'Snowball'. Snowball has a good heart and truly wants everyone to share equally in the work and wealth, but is soon ran off the farm by another pig named 'Napoleon'. He takes over with the help of some dogs that he raised secretly in the barn. By the end of the book the old horse can't tell the difference between the pigs and the humans. Just another lesson in how power corrupts. I wish it weren't so, but our founding fathers understood that government is like fire. To be used as long as we are master over it, but once out of control there's no stopping it. Much like the current government. Hmmmm...
