Many Americans are like the mouse that smells the cheese...

They have no idea that they are about to stick their heads into a trap. They will be lying on their backs with blood coming from their nostrils, wondering "what the hell happened"? They will be taken out with the morning trash.

One can scream and yell and ring the warning bells, but they hear nothing. They only smell the cheese. Their demise will be sad and quick.

They deserve no sympathy. They have wrought havoc and fear on the rest of America. There is not much worse than a dangerous ignorance that blindly follows the lies and ignores the facts.

They are beyond saving.

Mice don't really like cheese. Ironically I find dry cat food to be excellent bait.
