THE HISTORY OF MANKIND
======================
The division of the human family into its two distinct branches occurred
some 10,000 years ago, when humans coexisted as members of small bands
of nomadic hunter/gatherers. In the pivotal event of societal evolution,
beer was invented. This epochal innovation was both the foundation of
modern civilization and the occasion of the great bifurcation of
humanity into its two distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain, and that was the beginning
of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle or aluminum can had yet been
invented, so it was necessary to stick pretty close to the brewery.
That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days killing animals to barbecue at night while
they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of the conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting, learned how to
live off conservatives by showing up for the BBQs every night and doing
women's work like sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the
beginning of the liberal movement. Later, some of the liberals actually
became women.

Liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, invention of
group therapy and democratic voting to see how to divide the beer and
meat that the conservatives provided. Women were not interested in
democracy at that time because most of them were still women back then,
and the conservatives fed them.

Conservatives are symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal
on earth.

Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern Liberals like imported beer (they add lime), but most prefer
white wine or foreign water in a bottle. They eat raw fish but like
their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are on liberal menus.
Their women have more testosterone than the men. Most social workers,
personal injury attorneys, journalists, and group therapists are
Liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule in baseball
because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat, and still provide
for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys,
lumber jacks, construction workers, medical doctors, police officers,
corporate executives, soldiers, athletes, and generally anyone who works
productively outside government. Conservatives who own companies hire
other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals do not produce anything. They like to "govern" the producers
and decide what is to be done with the production. Liberals believe
Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the
liberals just stayed in Europe when conservatives were coming to America.

The American cowboy, of course, is your basic, full-bore Conservative. A
hundred years ago, an Englishman visiting Texas was attempting to find
the owner of a huge cattle ranch. He rode up to one of the ranch hands,
and inquired, "Pardon me, but could you perhaps tell me where I might
locate your master?" To which the cowboy replied, "That sumbitch ain't
been born yet."

Also the beginning of farting, antacids, and Monday Night

Which we all know is really the stronger sex^H^H^H gender.

Fed them the usual line of bullshit to get them into the sack.

From which we get circuses, clowns, and Tuscaloosa.

The most independent of them all.

because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

The designated hitter rule was instituted by Conservatives who
wanted higher scoring games because: (1) they didn't understand
the subleties of pitching and defense, and (2) the only way they
get stimulated is watching men score.

Also, games became much longer, allowing for more beer drinking.

They drink domestic beer because the stronger, full-flavored
imported beers upset their ulcerated tummies from eating all that
cancerous barbeque.

That cowboy was clearly neither Conservative nor Liberal, he was
a true independent.

But Rey -- isn't everyone already well aware of this history? I mean,
it's so obviously true one hardly needs to "learn" it. It's
self-evident.

How can we? They are the single most productive force in the process of

Regan played this cowboy B.S. to the hilt. Cowboys are pretty
independant until they beg Uncle Sam to let them graze on public lands
and redirect river water to their desert farms. "Oh, the Cowboy and
the Bureaucrat should be friends!"

Not enough letters, and none of them are the right ones, either. Keep
thinking...

Sam Rayburn, the great 20th-century Democratic speaker of the House, was
noted for a line he used on the more obtuse members of his party who
failed to learn the lesson of a political setback. "There's no education
in the second kick of a mule," he would say. [David S. Broder, November
7, 2004, Washington Press.]
