After
God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he
had some awful substance left with which he made a scab.
A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain,
a combination backbone of jelly and glue.
Where
others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels
weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him
out.
No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool
of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang
his body with.
Judas
was a gentleman compared with a scab. For
betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself. A
scab has not.
Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.
Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver.
Benedict Arnold sold his country for a promise of a commision in
the british army.
The scab sells
his birthright, country, his wife, his children and his fellowmen
for an unfulfilled promise from his employer.
Esau was a traitor to himself; Judas was a traitor to his God; Benedict
Arnold was a traitor to his country.
A scab is a
traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class.
Author --- Jack London (1876-1916)
