Abstract
-
en_US
Reading this book makes me angry! These are stories aimed, according to their author, at the tiny minority of men and women who understand, believe in and stand up for the Constitution (iii). The constitution in his view primarily limits government in American lives. The stories are aimed generally against those who believe that the government should control life. Thus The Ants and the Grasshopper (23) has government agents coming into the ant home to seize the contraband food they have hoarded for the winter, but the grasshopper who provoked their raid cannot get any of the seized food from the welfare office because the wrong form was given him to fill out. The famished grasshopper dies on his way to try to fill out the right form. I cannot find any stories that are based on known fables. One very short selection is titled The Good Abortionist (59). It has two paragraphs, each one sentence long: He saved the lives of nine babies. One Morning [sic] he woke up sick with a virus and didn't go to work. There are four full-page illustrations.
