George Orwell's dictum still holds true, and will never change. "All the animals on the farm are equal and some are more equal than others."
In an episode of the BBC crime series, Lewis, a university student was running tours of the Isis River at Oxford in which she claimed a crocodile had been sighted. An American tourist said, "I don't believe a word of that, young lady." She replied, "Do you believe that that all men are created equal, that they have the unalienable right to Life, Liberty and
the pursuit of Happiness?"
"With all my heart," he declared, placing his hand on his chest.
"It's easier to believe there's a crocodile in the Isis," she said.
