Progress

Two thousand years ago, Moses said, “Pick up your shovel, pack your ass, mount your camel and I shall lead you to the Promised Land.”

Two hundred-plus years ago, George Washington said, “Get off your ass, use your shovel, clear the land, grow plants for the camels and this will be the Promised Land.”

Last year, the United States Congress said “Si, Amigos, throw away your shovel, sit on your ass, light your Camels, we’re giving you the Promised Land!”
