Are you an Ant or Grasshopper?

[Daku]

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building
his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a
fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..

Come winter, the ant is warm
and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.

Which was probably plagiarized from something before it. Its amazing what those ancients knew.

I dont think they had any copywrite laws in that day, I think you are looking for inspired or passed down :)

Hell I don't think there were any LAWYERS back then.

ya, they plagiarized it im sure. i mean duh....

just because wisdom is written down doesn't mean it was born at that moment. The interesting thing about the Bible is that some of the wisdom inside is so easy for us to dismiss as common knowledge and therefore assume it was just taken from something else.

I mean duh, working hard and preparing for the future? wow doesn't seem like rocket science....or camel riding science, wood working science? no rockets back then.

Of course I am not sure how much wisdom there is in using an assumption as your basis for dismissal.

How do you get dismissal from my post? I even said "its amazing what the ancients knew."

Slow politics week? This is the best you guys can squabble about?

actually I think the Romans did have lawyers of sorts. people paid orators to speak their case in front of the arbitrators or whatever they called them. all my knowledge comes from the HBO series rome. so i must be right, right? right???

[Setis]

Oh, I was thinking back further than Rome.
