Dear readers

In the latest issue taken up in my nations fine gouvernment, a slightly delicate problem have occured regarding our national animal; the cameltoe.
I hereby sitate the discussion from our daily meeting;

Thermostadt Decides:
Cameltoes on the Dinner Table?
The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Thermostadt's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that cameltoes could be added to the menu.
The Debate

1. "The fact is, the cameltoe population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Charles Washington. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have cameltoe kebabs, cameltoe pies, cameltoe-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]

2. "I agree that something needs to be done about cameltoe over-population," says random passer-by Zeke Chicago, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]

3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Konrad Clinton. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The cameltoes were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The cameltoe is part of what makes Thermostadt a great nation!"
[Accept]

The Government Position

The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue.


So. What do a consious world leader and king decide? I can see that every oppinion has a certain aspect of good sense in their arguments. Personally, I have to say that I understand mr. C. Washingtons eager to use them as "tasty snacks", as he describes them so very well. The "on-a-stick"-variation seems to have an inviting aftertouch by most of the fine men in the gouvernment (and some of the female members, too. in fact, most of them.

I hereby wish to see other nations reaction and meanings on this very delicate issue. Your point of views are most wanted.

Kind regards

King Runnybottom of The Fine Land of Thermostadt

Speaking as a socialist government I would say the most humane thing to do is to choose option #3 for the animal in question and for humans generally.

I say eat them. If the cameltoe pop. is out of control, then just turn them into tasty snacks. There will be more of them you know if the pop. is O.O.C. Besides, I would think of the economy first.
