I thought it was a Marxist parable, or something of the sort...an allegorical critique of capitalism, supervalue, the elite exploiting the masses.
I must be in a bad mood because of the Cathie Black situation in NYC...where the “giants” are the democratic masses, who protested against the natural orators of our government…
Last night was a “change of humor that would come over the giants”… a “brusque refusal”...but in the end the middle/lower classes “seemed nevertheless to be charged with nourishing them and housing them and transporting them, and who eventually carried out their duties, provided they were prayed to” (the “praying” being only the making of promises, “I stand for the middle class”, “we’ll create jobs for you”, “think of the children!!11!!1!”).
The masses do, at times, crush the endeavors of the orators (more than one reference to Egypt was made last night)...but for the most part the giant masses do what they are told, as long as they hear the right things, and have a cookie or a coo tossed to them now and then.
I freely admit taking too much liberty with all of that...but it really is what I was thinking about as I read it.
Nah, definitely dogs. They’re the undisputed masters of manipulating humans in the animal kingdom.
Excepting other humans.
