Give a Moose a Muffin

 Nowadays, it seems to me advocacy and special interest groups can't seem to stop themselves. They got what they wanted, but since they're in business to promote an agenda once the goal is reached, achieved, or accomplished, they don't seem to want to stop. Of course, that would put that group out of business or at least make them irrelevant.

It reminds me of that classic children's book "Give a moose a Muffin." The premise is that: If a big hungry moose comes to visit, you might give him a muffin to make him feel at home. If you give him a muffin, he'll want some jam to go with it. When he's eaten all your muffins, he'll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix...

Remind you of any group? Yes, these groups can't be satisfied or satiated—momentum, greed, self-interest, and hunger for more take on a life of their own. 

Ok, they say there is more work to be done. We were only getting started. Really is that the mission statement or an addendum to it. Never enough is our motto, they say. Once we're here, keep feeding us till we go away. 

I remember when Animal Rights groups first got started, it was exotic furs the targeted because most folks didn't own them or care that the upper class was being targeted because everyone hates and envy's those that have more than you do, don't you know. 

Then PETA was formed, and it became the prime example of what I am talking about. Furs, leather, meat, eggs....and on and on. Give a moose a muffin.

MADD Mothers Against Drunk Driving is another fine example. Now, who can argue for drunk driving? But they keep upping the game blood alcohol 10.0, 7.0, 5.0, and now no drinking whatsoever: one beer and you are busted. If one beer impairs you, you need to become a Mormon or Shiite Baptist. 

Anti-gun lobbies, LBGTQ, gender equality, CRT... don't get me started. It's not a slippery slope until we lose our Constitutional rights it is a downhill bobsled ride. Give a moose a muffin.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. 

Stop before we lose all freedoms.
