I'm recommending some weekend reading. It's a short list, but chock-full of lessons it wouldn't hurt any of us to be reminded of. Again.
1. Chicken Little
2. The Boy Who Cried Wolf
3. The Three Little Pigs
#1 addresses the harmful fallout from the spread of misinformation or, worse, deliberate disinformation and the consequences thereof.
#2 imparts precisely the lesson the title implies. The wisdom of the story itself is a point well taken at this particular time. People should never forget that one can cry wolf only so many times before one is left to one's own devices.
#3 serves as a reminder of the foolishness of consorting with dangerous characters. No good comes to either the fools or the fooled.
In other news on the literary front, the Word Patrol nabbed a whole slew of really bad guys today. It was tough rounding up all these fleeing miscreants, but they were all eventually taken down and nobody got hurt. Every single one of them is charged with Malicious Wounding of Etymology.
