Lessons in morality starring the Insecurasarus. Insecurasarus: Me! The Insecurasaurus wanted to impress his friends. So he used big words. Insecurasarus: Aberation. Abhor. Alacrity. But the were not impressed. So he made lots of money. But they were not impressed. So he dressed in the finest suits. But they were not impressed. So he found shallower friends. Goat: And what exactly is the morality lesson? Rat: That deep friendships hold us back. Pig: Adore me, new shallow friends!
Rat skipped the part where Insecurasaurus ran for public office. Part of our problem is the only people who will run are those who simultaneously NEED to be validated at the polls and yet are so full of themselves that they think only they can save the country — in other words, people who are insane.
