I usually write them on Thursday, but I typed this one up frantically right before I posted it, so I considered making it a fool's post, but instead it became a little bit of both. Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286751617899324922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428142536066964074.post-46356048114282281772016-04-01T19:38:02.780-05:002016-04-01T19:38:02.780-05:00When I first saw the title to this post I was like...When I first saw the title to this post I was like "I bet this is going to be another April Fool's Day post..." I was pleasantly surprised. :)<br />Thank you for this post.

Really...It'll be great. XD Pelicans everywhere.<br />Really, though, I wanted to do something that felt slightly in the line of "April fools day" without really /doing/ something, ya know? So I thought "hey, why not use an excessively laden-down allegory to make a valid point"?<br /><br />Ah yes, the lack of sacrifice is one of the two extremes.
