think of the election as a bakery |
|
and the voting booth as the counter when they call your number and you go to the counter you tell them what you want if they dont have that you can pick something else something similar and nearly as satisfying
so you want cupcakes cupcakes are good they are cake....but just a smidge of cake! today they have lemon cupcakes and buttercream cupcakes
now there may be yellow cake or white cake or even chocolate cake under the frosting but a lot of people wont ask "what kind of cake is it?" they will decide by the frosting they like short term thinkers!
frosting is sugar and lard (qc? are you reading this?i got lard into it just for you buddy!) with a little extract for flavor its spread thinly over the top of the cupcake it doesnt change the cake inside it and the importance of it is quite frankly secondary to the cake itself the cake is the substance
so when you get to the counter ask "what kind of cake is under that veneer of larded sugar?" worry about the cake and remember the frosting is not the cake

I only got it on like the 4th reading. Sort of. But I am down after a sugar crash from lunch right now. :) You got me a bunny with a pancake though... and that makes me all kinds of happy! :toast:

the cake represents the inner goodness of an individual the frosting is the projected view
or
the cake represents the soul the frosting is the skin
