"Survival of the Fattest"

This statue by Jens Glaschiot contains the inscription, "I'm sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under the burden. I would do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back."

It's a wonderful work of art. And fascinating to me how so many different political parties assume Glaschiot's words back their opposing causes.

Speaking of which, I am now a regular contributor to the wonderful site, humblelibertarian.com. Go check out my first two posts about Sarah Palin and Spock.

The Grateful Dead had it right, "I don't know but I've been told, if the horse don't pull you got to carry the load. I don't know who's back that's strong, maybe find out before too long.
