The Democrats' Dictionary ______________________________

BABY: Future taxpayer and potential voter; symbolically usefull, otherwise
troublesome. Acquisition of babies encourages such vices as consumption,
greed, xenophobia, censorship, fanaticism, and bourgeois morality in most
people, who should thus be discouraged from doing so. People should be
encouraged to have babies only in cases in which doing so would tend to
increase their dependence and sense of grievance, hence their political
loyalty to us.

OPRAH: The incarnation of Gaia that serves as the patron goddess of
compassion and literature.

BAD: The quality of being a thing that can be compared in some way to
something associated with the 1950's, such as anti-communism, families
reminicent of the Cleaver household, inoffesive representational art,
exclusive heterosexuality, formal dress, bourgeois morality, respect for
authority, shame, work, and Biblical religion.

ZEBRA: Totally useless beast. Is not endangered, and cannot be racially
classified.
