Exactly right, Jann --  that's been my point all along.  People will open 
their hearts -- we  shouldn't try to legislate it.

Hmmm. It seemed like your point with these fables was that we should be  
very afraid.

And then there's the version that says the ant opened his heart to the  
grasshopper and shared his provisions in exchange for the beautiful music the  
grasshopper made, and they had a great, celebrational winter. Come on,  
let's  open our hearts to a future that is already open!  Anything can happen in 
the next moment.
 
Blessings,
Jann

Below is the old version and then a modern day  fable with a pretty grim 
conclusion in both cases.  It's making the  rounds on the internet and I 
thought it somewhat apros pos of our  discussion.
 
I guess what I've been trying to say is that if you  keep forcibly taking 
from those who have to give to those who haven't, those  who have will just 
stop producing at some point -- they will decide it makes  more sense to be 
on the taking than the giving end.
