How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The idea that somebody looked at a purple onion and called it a red onion really bothers me.

It does also make some sense when one realizes that there are plenty of artificial or synthetic stone products out there, so selling natural - i.e., non-manufactured - stones as such is not completely ridiculous.

That being said, the image is a little funny.

You can shear a sheep every year, for years.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
