WHY GOVERNMENT CAN’T HELP ITSELF

SPYING

So, you may ask, why is the government so obsessed with spying on Americans – apparently virtually all of us? The answer is found in the well-known fable of the frog and the scorpion. The scorpion, who cannot swim, asks the frog for a ride on his back across a river. The frog expresses concern that the scorpion will sting him, killing him in midstream. The scorpion says, “But then I would die too,” thereby convincing the clueless frog to trust him. In midstream the frog is fatally stung. “Why?” the frog exclaims as he begins sinking, to which the scorpion replies, “It is my nature.”
