Citizen Canine!

As I've said before, Luky is not much for politics. When I finally did get him started a few weeks ago he told a long story about a pup Wolf who wound up becoming a leader just because his father had been. The long and short of that story was that smart Wolves don't always have smart pups, and a dumb pup of a smart Wolf may well be a worse leader than your average canine simply because lots of other power hungry dogs hang around the pup in order to take advantage of his last name! I'm not sure if Luky meant for his story to reflect on today's world but it had an eerie familiarity to it that worried me a bit.

The more recent events have left most of my friends confused. I told Luky that it always seemed strange that the party of life was the primary supporter of the death penalty and automatic weapons . . . but it really makes no sense when the writers of our laws are the people who wish to exploit them - like the current news on contemptible Congressmen, not to mention an energy policy written by oil companies, or bankruptcy laws written by credit card banks.

Luky says hypocrisy is a human thing. He shakes his head and licks his nose and says, every Wolf is a Citizen Canine . . . and there no Citizen Kanes!

From what I can tell he comes from a far more just and honorable world than the one we live in!
