"You talk like the grown-ups!"
That made me a little ashamed. But he added, mercilessly:
" You confuse everything... You've got it all mixed up!" He was really very annoyed. He tossed his golden curls in the wind. "I know a planet inhabited by a red-faced gentleman. He's never smelled a flower. He's never looked at a star. He's never loved anyone. He's never done anything except add up numbers. And all day long he say s over and over, just like you, 'I'm a serious man! I'm a serious man!" And that puffs him up with pride.
But he's not a man at all -- he's a mushroom!"
Perhaps you know these mushrooms too? People who try to quantify everything, measure everything, control everything. They are not terribly fun these mushroom people. But they are seemingly everywhere - just like mushrooms!
Many of them run for political office, or become accountants or lawyers. But its easier to see the very "mushroomness" of the politicians.
Hillary is a mushroom.
So is Rudy.
