A PARABLE: A SHORT TALE WHICH ILLUSTRATES A UNIVERSAL TRUTH IN A SIMPLE NARRATIVE.
Suspect many of you know that I have a strong fascination with small town newspapers - subscribe to about twenty! Freedom of the press is alive and well in America - and for sure in rural North Carolina! Some of the "goings on" out in the hinterlands never cease to amaze. Here's an example...
From The Warren Record:
"Warren County Animal Control Officer Elma Rae Greene reported that a rabid skunk was found near the intersection of Fate Weaver and Axtell Ridgeway Road. She said a resident living near the intersection heard his dogs barking in an agitated manner and went to investigate."
"The dogs were barking to scare off the skunk in the yard which left and returned to the yard several times. Recognizing that the skunk's behavior was unusual, the resident shot and killed the skunk and called Animal Control. The skunk was submitted to the State Public Health Lab and tested positive."
"Animal Control Officer Elma Greene said the rabies vaccinations of the resident's dogs had expired, so the dogs were euthanized as required by State law."
They killed the dogs?!?

So, what's the parable here as it relates to
CUNA, the Leagues, and Choice/"optionality"?
Who are the dogs? Who is the skunk?
Who is the owner? Who is Animal Control?
Who caused "the problem" here? What is "the problem"?
Who came up with these stupid questions?
