OPINION: Critics and liars
Brent Regan
Hearing some of the complaints about the upcoming caucus I am reminded of the story of the young mother and son’s day at the beach.
One day a young mother agrees to take her 6-year-old son to the beach. On arrival, mom sets up her towel and umbrella and then admonishes her son not to go more than ankle deep in the water. The child scampers off and begins investigating all the driftwood, seaweed and seashell treasures to be found. Mom goes through the motions of reading a book but glances up every few words to check on junior.
Suddenly and to her horror a rogue wave crashes on the beach and washes her son into the surf with the riptide carrying him further from shore. Unable to swim herself, she frantically scans the beach for someone to rescue her beloved child. There is no one in sight, so in desperation she drops to her knees and cries to heaven “Dear Lord! Please save my poor child!”
