You know, if someone was caught robbing your house, they'd get sent to jail. If someone went and held up a bank, they'd be sent to jail. Similarly, if someone was caught stealing your hard-earned money from your wallet, chances are, you'd take the nearest hard object, whack them once around the head and send them straight off to the police station (where there, they'd get sent to jail).
There's no exception to this. You steal, you go to jail. It has always been that way and always will be that way.
Or is it?
Little do most people know, March happens to be one of the most crime-infested months of the year (besides December, what with Christmas and all). But why? Because of those little green men most people like to call leprechauns. Those short bearded men, prancing around in their green suits, teasing us with their potloads of gold each and every year. As well, it's common knowledge that "the pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow". Everyone's heard of it - young, old, middle-aged.. everyone. So how do we, as naturally greedy people, resist?
Exactly. We don't.
Which is precisely why March has such high crime rates. What with all these people foolishly following rainbows around town, reaching the end, and stealing the pots of gold, it's no wonder the economy tends to boom a bit as well during April.
However, this wasn't the point of my article. My point was to ask why is it that we don't get sent to jail for doing such crimes? Isn't it the law? You steal, you go to jail. Always, no exceptions. Are we saying that leprechauns aren't worthy of our own same human rights? Granted, they aren't exactly human, but it still isn't humane, is it? To allow them to get robbed, year after year, with no consideration whatsoever of their feelings, their friends, their families.. and to receive no punishment for such actions. It's despicable.
So that's all I have to say today for this article.
For all you people out there, packing your bags and hiking boots, getting ready to search for that rainbow, beware. We're watching. And when we catch you, yeah, you're gonna get caught. And when you're caught, all
