<BR>A Parable <BR> <BR>Long ago, a young farm boy woke up early one morning and heard his father readying himself for a day of plowing the field. The young boy watched as the father tried to hitch the old jackass to the plow. The mule kicked and bucked and tried it´s best to bite the farmer. It kicked the farmer and knocked him to the ground. The farmer stood up, dusted himself off, and quietly resumed the chore of bridling and harnessing the mule. When he finished the task, the little boy could contain himself no longer, and he ran outside to his father. "Father, Father! Every morning the jackass does this to you! Why do you put up with it? If I were you, I´d cuss that jackass, then I´d get a big club and knock the holy tar out of him!" <BR>The father looked down on his son and said quietly "Son, when you deal with this sort of animal, you just have to consider the source. <BR>After all, HE´S JUST A JACKASS..." <BR> <BR>
