We’ve reached the point someone told us, choices have consequences

A hungry man is an angry man. This is what everyone in privilege and authority must never forget. Our people say that even a hungry rodent pushed beyond a certain point of tolerance will pounce at the fiercest lion. They advise the lions of this world never to lose sight of this law of nature.
