The left always eat their own.

We can't help it if we are delicious and good to eat. The right are bitter and tough to chew on. It's an obvious culinary preference that drives us.

Define "left". I don't have a definition either, I don't like or use the word, but I know there have been and are people that I adore and agree with on many things who probably would be labelled that way, and all of them would spit out what you seem to consider "left". One example: > Do not preach the straight and narrow way while going joyously upon the wide one. Preach the wide one, or do not preach at all; but do not fool yourself by saying you would like to help usher in a free society, but you cannot sacrifice an armchair for it. Say honestly, "I love arm-chairs better than free men, and pursue them because I choose; not because circumstances make me. I love hats, large, large hats, with many feathers and great bows; and I would rather have those hats than trouble myself about social dreams that will never be accomplished in my day. The world worships hats, and I wish to worship with them." > But if you choose the liberty and pride and strength of the single soul, and the free fraternization of men, as the purpose which your life is to make manifest then do not sell it for tinsel. Think that your soul is strong and will hold its way; and slowly, through bitter struggle perhaps the strength will grow. And the foregoing of possessions for which others barter the last possibility of freedom will become easy. > At the end of life you may close your eyes saying: "I have not been dominated by the Dominant Idea of my Age; I have chosen mine own allegiance, and served it. I have proved by a lifetime that there is that in man which saves him from the absolute tyranny of Circumstance, which in the end conquers and remoulds Circumstance, the immortal fire of Individual Will, which is the salvation of the Future." - Voltairine de Cleyre If you say a little candle (or even just one that is fake and painted on) is the sun, that just means you don't know what the sun is. Keep looking maybe, or keep rationalizing your inertness to those who would fall for it.
