We cats were out running errands this afternoon (you didn't know we could drive, did you?), and we saw a bumper sticker with this famous quote attributed to Edmund Burke:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing."
An admirable sentiment. But since the car in question also sported a "George Allen for Senate" sticker and other Republican stuff, we cats think we know who the driver thought "Evil" was. (If the driver were in Arizona, for example, he might listen to this lamebrain on the radio.)
We have a suggestion. Since both sides of the political debate like to appropriate the alleged Burke quote when they're out of office, perhaps — in the best interest of lowering everybody's blood pressure — it could be retired.
And only used by people who live in, say, Myanmar.
