[lfjokes] The wrong lizards?

[Simondo]

For those of you basking in the post-election glow, here's an observation
which may put it all in perspective...

(For the non-NZers out there, New Zealand just had a general election).

I'm always reminded, come election time, of Douglas Adams' wonderful story 
of the planet full of humans that is invaded by alien lizard creatures. The 
lizards set up a parliamentary democracy and demand the humans vote for 
certain lizards, which the humans do. Someone points out to them that they 
don't actually have to vote for this conquering race of aliens; however, the 
reply is swift and damning: "but if we don't vote the wrong lizard might get in".  

So enjoy the spectacle tomorrow night. I always try to imagine myself as the 
Roman emperor watching the Christians first XV versus the lions. It helps 
immensely I find.
