For Your Late Night Viewng Pleasure

I happened upon this old cartoon from my youth that as an adult I now see as absolutely charming and endearing. Wanted to share it (two parts). Family friendly and something I’d strongly recommend sharing with your kids:

I was do sure the wolf was going to eat them all at the end.

I don’t get it…
we should be more forgiving of criminals, be more lenient?
I don’t get that cartoon.

Forgive and forget?
Don’t stick with the heard mentality?
Look for the best in everybody?
Think outside the box?
Don’t be afraid of new ideas?
Look beyond your own backyard?
Don’t wallow in self pity?
Don’t be afraid of change?
Look for the positives in life?
Has this something to do with Trump, that he’s different than all the rest?
Captain, where are you going with this, I gave up 11 mins to watch this!???

Live on a houseboat.

If someone said to you ; ” I used to plot to kill blue eyed infidels and used to be a member of ISIS, that was a long time ago, I have changed now, would you hire me as a cook and be my friend? ”
Would anyone hire that “wolf” ?

And was viewing spelled vieiwing on purpose?

Old people are gullible.
A leopard CAN change his spots.
Little Red Riding Hood was wrong to judge the Wolf.
House boats can be brought to the desert.
A young chick can put lead back in your old pencil.
It’s a mystery……..

What?—–I am an “Old Man”.

The wolf used his reputation as a con artist to con them into taking care of him?

Bernie Madoff was just a nice guy that was misunderstood.
He was a reformed wolf that cleaned up nicely.
He just wanted to take care of old guys and their pets.
And because people befriend and chose these wolves, they cant be all bad because people aren’t really that stupid, are they?
Even when they freeloaded off of them.
Stole from them.
And lied to them.
But its not their fault, they were just made that way.
And so it goes on.

I expected the wolf to eat the fish, blame the cat, sick the dog on the cat, tell the old man the dog was rabid, shoot the dog, making the old man now “safe” alone with the wolf – that turned out to be a metaphor for the government.

The point of the original book is that you shouldn’t judge people by their past or by stereotypes, but rather their present actions (even though in the book the wolf gets the cat addicted to catnip).
If you look beyond the “ooh, isn’t having an ex-con around vibrant and exciting” message, it becomes apparent that the book is excusing all the wolf’s prior behaviour, because he never turns himself in and is never held responsible for what he did before showing up at the old man’s door.

Let’s update the story and bring it into modern times.
One man’s radical Muslim can be another man’s homeless refugee that is welcomed into your home. You learn from his kindness and goodness that not all Muslims are bad and like ourselves, their true nature is to show goodness and kindness to others. Our part is to put aside any prejudices we might have, see them as God sees them, and welcome them warmly with the promise that our home is now your home.
And we all live happily ever after.

Allegory.
The “wolf” is actually Omar Khadr,and the old man and his pets are actually Dennis Edney and his wife,who are going to sue the ass off Canadian taxpayers,and live HEA in the desert.
