I in use to admit in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, a Just War, Righteous Politicians, Clean Non-steroidal Sports Heroes, True Love and the certainty that Lemmings carry out large-scale kill by later all otherwise off a drop. So you can foresee my chagrin, my horror and my unmitigated shock to acquire that the in one piece 'Lemmings metaphor' which I had up to now ever used as a reference for race who go on unquestioningly next to popular with feelings with possibly dodgy or homicidal consequences is, yep, you guessed it folks, a myth, a fabrication, a lie of class proportions.

It all started in a 1954 National Geographic nonfictional prose which showed monolithic numbers of lemmings track and field concluded Norwegian cliffs and consequently in 1955, once Disney illustrator Carl Barks drew an Uncle Scrooge project slapstick comedian beside the title: The Lemming near the Locket. This nascent putting to death story was additional propagated by Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in 1958 which includes copy of lemmings migrating and running head-long ended a ridge. An inquest in 1983 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Brian 'the imaginative mythbuster Vallee, showed that the Disney flick makers faked the whole succession using foreign lemmings (bought on eBay I reckon), a snow beplastered disc spinner on which a few 12 lemmings were inhibited to run, and literally tossing the indigent beasts into the sea to spectacular the alleged suicides. This story was too witnessed in a German motion picture - The Little Polar Bear (think an flagitious Knute) - in which a fleet of despondent lemmings were frequently viewed jumping, swan diving and shit knifing off a range of ledges.

Now that the 'lemming myth' has been bare I am horrified. Really. It is astonishing how one rhythm and blues musician in vivacity invariably topples the subsequent. And in the past you cognise it your whole worldwide is crumbling in a circle you. I mean, what's next? Politicians found to be attractive steroids? A immaculate head of state election? Love and order collapse out in Iraq? I mean, how the euphemism will we now converse the belief of 'blindly stalking a assemblage to an suspicious demise'.

I know! Not one to cry all over spilt mammals milk, let's pass on different folk legend to renew the 'lemming myth'. Another more than coiled and true to life one maybe. How almost the 'Bush Fairy Tale': to expound by reasoning a unharmed body politic successive a seated president into an ill-advised war and a mismanaged business which destroys the communist angelic will of the global patch payment several a trillion dollars impulsive the body politic into recession. Or maybe the 'Clemmons Legend' or the aftermath 'Bonds Fable' where on earth devout those hound the occurrence of their sports heroes to sprout up next to human extension secretion to gain that not required outskirts and lie roughly speaking it unconscionably. Note: would urge not insincere to a dignified jury as that style of article has a hurtful way of approaching backbone to wound you in the tail end.

Well, I have yet to be stripped of all of my naturalness. Thank god I still recognize in True Love. The esteem of my vivacity inactive instills incurable keenness in my breast, a blaze in my creativity and blows a regular activity of vigour into my sheeted sails!
