Sally’s Christmas Dream
By John | December 8, 2008
Our dog, Sally, recently had a dream. Since she doesn’t have her own blog, she asked that I post her dream on my blog. So, hear it is - Sally’s dream - exactly the way she described it:
SALLY’S DREAM
It came to pass in that far-off city called Washington that a Messiah appeared before the Elected Officials. The Messiah asked the Elected Officials to explain how they had come to reside in the city called Washington. The Elected Officials explained that they had been elected by the people. Whereupon the Messiah asked how it had come to pass that the people had elected them.
The Elected Officials turned their gazes upon the ground and expressed reluctance to reveal their secrets, but the Messiah was persistent, and the Elected Officials were compelled to confess that they had become elected by making many false promises - promises they knew they could not keep.
“Go on,” the Messiah demanded. Whereupon the Elected Officials described how they had acted as false gods, interfering in the lives of the people, taking from them that which they had earned, and giving to the cronies and associates of the Elected Officials. The Elected Officials confessed to having printed money in excess, thereby depriving the people of their savings. They confessed to having interfered with free markets by dictating that actions be taken that would destroy private companies and cause economic catastrophe.
The Messiah, hearing of these things, became much troubled. He said unto the Elected Officials, “No longer shall you act as false gods, but you shall become servants of The People, and they shall live forever in freedom.”
The elected officials, hearing of this, became ashamed and confessed of their many sins. They resolved to become honest and forthright citizens and from that time forward to serve the interests of The People.
Whereupon optimism and good cheer spread across the land. With their freedom restored, The People became happy and prosperous.
And it came to pass that The People revered their Pets and lavished many treats upon them.
Well, anyway, that’s the way Sally told it……
