21:25 - Oh ho ho, very witty, Wilde

So when I started my car this evening, NPR had on a discussion of some local issue or other, featuring interview-soundbites from some deep-voiced commentator whose name I didn't catch. I have no idea what the context was (the show was "The California Report"); but in discussing the various viewpoints on the issue and the proper airing of the opposing stances, he had the following cynical one-liner:
"It's been said that democracy is like two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner."
Ah hah. Cute. Very pithy. But let's finish the thought, shall we? How about when it's two sheep and a wolf voting on what to have for dinner?
Doesn't that more accurately describe the typical social issue these days?
