I would use this quote in my class to elicit discussion about the Bill of Rights w/my 8th graders as we began to study the Constitution.

'Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

'Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.'

I am not a cat man, but a dog man, and all felines can tell this at a glance - a sharp, vindictive glance.
