History Repeats

[cos789]

King Canute the Great, the legend says, seated on his throne on the seashore, waves lapping round his feet. Canute had learned that his flattering courtiers claimed he was "So great, he could command the tides of the sea to go back". Now Canute was not only a religious man, but also a clever politician. He knew his limitations - even if his courtiers did not - so he had his throne carried to the seashore and sat on it as the tide came in, commanding the waves to advance no further. When they didn't, he had made his point that, though the deeds of kings might appear 'great' in the minds of men, they were as nothing in the face of God's power.

Fast forward to today . Advisors to David Gallop "you can repel the wave of AFL engulfing NSW".

I seem to have shown the AFL is in fact not a sea threatening to engulf

but a puddle on the side of the road that wouldn't drown a flea

Especially when it doesn't know when it should shut down.

[NSWAFL]

Dave, no one is soiling their pants...except for you as you are relying on very poor sources on your information.
