Canary bites
Ecoloons constantly say that the wildly abundant and fast-expanding "endangered" polar bear is the canary in the coal mine.
Whaddaya know! They're right for once! A polar bear has warned British ecoloons in the only possible way that their beyond-all-comprehension primitive voodoo idiocy is FUCKING DANGEROUS.
Admittedly the trite analogy doesn't quite work; the real canary died to warn humans of danger, while the polar bear killed an ecoloon and seriously injured other ecoloons to warn sane humans of the danger posed by the ecoloons.
Still, it's a positively delightful scene. Darwin at his best. Intelligence beats raw force, but when you turn your intelligence backwards and do absolutely everything wrong, when you replace the facts of Nature with the unspeakably bizarre Gospel of an apocalyptic brain-mincing cult, raw force will win again.
Gotcha! Beautiful! ¶ 3:21 AM
