you should never trust the beast 2233

Or Flying Circus or Flying Jungle. Hey, good breastle for a BBC show: The Lion, the Monkey, and the Flying Jungle. ;)

Or perhaps we should fight one harmful allegory with another more happy allegory. At least the monkey with the banana is harmless. Well, unless he throws the peel on the ground.

Coming soon. Before we finish off everything with Global Warming and Terrorism, so I hope.

But this is common sense a practical advice to survive in the jungle, for example...

"His books might depict dystopian societies with ruthless leaders, but he did so to convince people how to stave off the ascension of such leaders. His reasons were simple =8B He favored no society where a leader like Josef Stalin, Big Brother, Napoleon the pig or Napoleon the emperor could emerge to destroy what could be a suitable society based on democratic Socialism."

Hey, nothing to do with Tony Blair's socialism. ;) .=2E

Yes, the people feed a lion (through vote, taxes, etc) and then they become the target along with the lion. It's not terribly fair nor terribly unfair. Just described here...

"What worries me is not the violence of the few, but the indifference of the many" -M.L. King

True, but some even risk their lives! They don't receive the scraps of the lion to say "everything is all right!"

True, but in democracy, a REAL DEMOCRACY the monkeys should have their say. Lions have their places too in the jungle but theirs' is not the only truth.

Well, then I don't understand what you are saying. ("useless was to interact" isn't there a missing word?)

He wants juicy SUVs selling at $40,000 a piece and then burning gas like hell. Of course, then everybody else must go into bigger vehicles if they want to be safe. An arms race where the cyclists remain at the bottom of the food chain.

I know. But here being a monkey is like being nothing. So everybody must be a lion or else resign to be a social outcast.

I think it has to do with this...

"TV and radio should be independent of Big Business and the State. (This is due to two reasons: culturally, because the ratings make bad programs become "good"... for business; and, politically, because whoever has power over the media... will be in power; however, people should be able to watch anything on video and cable; the BBC offers us and example of an independent media.)"

Well, not quite true lately (politically) but you get the point.

Sure, relax regulations in some areas (speed) and crank it up in others (cell phones).

We need the whip sometimes when we have a wild beast, don't we?

It is the case in Germany: EDUCATION along REGULATION should tame the beast. (Which at the moment is outside the cage.)

Maybe. Try the more relaxed rule and see the results.

Sure, why not. It can put to work toward bike lanes, and public transportation...

Beast are unpredictable. Never trust it and expect it when he thinks you don't expect it. So be always ready for it (or at least make your ceremony arrangements if you decide to confront it). :(

I'd say always start with DO NOT FEED THE BEAST. She listens to it eventually.

But being ready for EVERYTHING is always smart in the jungle. Why should you leave at the whim of cosmic mechanics?

He was a hero of the environmental cause, even if incomplete. So we can buttign meaning to his rest, and say, for example, that you should never trust the beast.

Perhaps but not as dramatic. You got some European influence too. You are between the Law of the Jungle and the Rule of Law, not knowing where to go.
