THE OCTOGENARIAN AND LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: I remember reading Little Red Riding Hood. Since weve made such great advances in our civilized world, then lets imagine if such a scenario happened today. Heres what would occur: After the woodchopper rescued LR by killing the wolf, who already ate her grandmother, and then by gosh, tried to kill LR, thered be a special inquest. First off, the wolf, prior to his execution, had not been fully advised of his inalienable rights. Then the ACLU would enter the scene, maintaining the hungry and starving wolf was merely doing his thing, and did not deserve his untimely death. So the judge would discover that there was no legal basis for charges against the wolf, Therefore, the woodchopper would be guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Conclusively, hed be arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to ninety-nine years no less. Probably grandmothers house would become a shrine for the wolf who had bled and died there. Manifold wreaths would be deposited there in memory of the brave and martyred wolf. For sure, thered not be a dry eye in the entire forest. Moral: sometimes justice is blind, and shouldnt we be there helping out by removing the blindfolds?
