Show W. p. p UTA 4 10 By Uy Jock Jones Chief Frogs being cold blooded reptiles can within limits vary their body temperatures according according according ac ac- ac- ac cording to the outside temperatures Thus a frog swimming in water a term of which is 55 degrees will have a body temperature of 55 degrees But a frog like any other living creature will succumb when the temperature becomes too high You can plop a frog into a pot of hot water and he realizing the danger of the situation will immediately jump out He knows that if he remained in the pot he would soon be the main ingredient of a pot of f frog rog soup Therefore the way to boil boll a frog is to put him into a pot of cold water He will happily swim and splash about Then gradually degree by degree turn up the heat hat As the water becomes warmer and warmer so does the frog But he doesn't mind because the temperature change is so gradual he doesn't even realize it is getting hotter As the pot becomes hotter and hotter he eventually succumbs The result Stewed frog Hes He's been turned into soup because the change was gradual and he didn't realize the danger he was in How often do we as human who are supposed to be smarter than frogs react the same way to dangers that are gradual For example if today's accepted accepted accepted ac ac- ac- ac standards on drugs pornography alcohol morality responsibility and self-respect self were suddenly upon us 10 years ago what would our reaction have been We would have reacted just like the frog when he was plopped into the pot of boiling water We would have jumped and jumped hard and high But those standards are now nowhere nowhere nowhere here and we accept them They are part of our society and we dont don't even get excited about them We accept them because they were brought about gradually and slowly degree by degree The heat is slowly turned up and we say to ourselves One more degree wont won't hurt A little littlemore littlemore littlemore more heat wont won't harm us |
