How dramatic! May I use it?
The spewing forth of dogma. This is wonderful.
Actually the funny, although sad, part is its memorization by zombs.
When I was involved with the Master Gardeners we planted a cover crop of
crimson clover as part of the landscape. Come spring, the handwringing
was tremendous over what to do about the impending crop of seed that the
crimson clover was about to drop, possibly reseeding the land with a
"non-native". Those who had ever gardened before, or read a seed
company catalog promoting the "strong ability to reseed" were just
beside ourselves with laughter over the ignorant zombs. Crimson clover
has been planted here for over a century, and you would be
extraordinarily lucky to have some volunteer, especially on our
lime-free land.
There's no doubt how their brains got to be so fried, either. One day
in class an ideologue was lecturing, saying that since you never knew
what a plant *might* do, it's best to plant ... only ... (and the chorus
of zombs said in unison) "natives".
