Helpless Babies
Why are baby humans so helpless when they’re born, compared to other animals?
———- from Shawn McGregor of Ft. Collins, CO
They’re asking for sympathy, hoping someone will take pity on them so they won’t ever have to get jobs and pay taxes. In this way, baby humans are said to be the “con artists of the animal kingdom” and if left to their own devices, will eventually develop Ponzi schemes and complicated forms of three-card monte. Whenever I’m in the prescence of a baby human, I practice tough love and refuse to acknowledge its existence. I’m told it develops character.
