123. Corporatists have built an "attractive nuisance" ...
... and, instead of building a fence around it, they're inviting the children in our global neighborhood to jump in and drown.

OK. Poor analogy. Maybe I should've tried one using the witch living in the gingerbread house?

The point is that people (children are people too) who go to what attracts them, when the gates are left open, aren't evil. I do not demonize illegal aliens. I demonize the inhabitants of the gingerbread houses. Those are the people who should be imprisoned.

While we're at it, we could also use a barrier that keeps the kids from being fattened up only to be devoured. And they should be disciplined when they go there against instructions ... not just let loose to go to the next gingerbread house.
