The Candle


"And so there it was, kids, the candle.  Sitting in the middle of the 
ocean.  No one knew how it got there.  It was just there.  Lighting up the 
night.  They gave everyone a telescope and said 'Look.'.  Everyone looked, 
and everyone saw the same candle, but from *just* the slightest different 
angle...."

"Uncle Cheeseburger, what does that mean then....?"

"Uhh...   I can't remember...   hehehe..."

"Hehehehe......!!"

"Here...."

"Thanks, kids....   fffffwwwwssshhhhhhhhhhffff....."

"Are you *sure* you can't remember, Uncle Cheeseburger....?"

"(squeaky voice)  I'm tryin to remember, honest......   here....."

"Try harder, Uncle Cheeseburger....  ffffffwwwwssshhhhhhhfffff....."

"Ahhhhh.......   I remember now...."

"You do...."

"Well.... uhhh.... fwwwsssshhhhhhffff....  yeah, I do... hehe..."

"Hehehehe....."

"Yeah, it means something like why Earth is so screwed...."

"What does that mean...?"

"It means that there's only one candle, call it whatever you want, light, 
freedom, truth, whatever, and interestingly enough everybody is looking at 
it and seeing the same exact candle, but because they're all looking at it 
from a *slightly* different angle, they can never seem to get together and 
solve all the problems here and make the world a better place to live...."

"What does the candle story have to do with the RNC anyway....?"

"Heck if I know...."

"Me either...."

"Are all Republicans going to hell like Uncle Cheeseburger said...?"

"I dunno....  Maybe...  They did some pretty bad shit..."

"Yeah...  I know...  Do you think there's any Democrats there too...?"

"Well, if Uncle Cheeseburger knows anything, yeah, probably just as many as 
the Republicans..."

"Hehe....."

"Hehehe......"
