Should we be dog or cat?
One thing that seems to differentiate the US culture from that of any other affluent country is the cult status of its leaders -- especially political and business leaders. Unlike in Canada or Europe, disagreement or criticism of one's boss in the US is treated as sacrilege -- a career-limiting move. And while Canadian and European television programs and cartoonists savagely ridicule and caricature their political leaders, and Canadian and European media go out of their way to unnerve and challenge these leaders, their US counterparts seem to treat their 'leaders' with deference bordering on hero-worship. While Tony Blair is portrayed in the British press as an inept and clueless Bush lapdog (and worse), the mainstream US media seem unwilling to portray Bush as a spoiled, psychopathic illiterate coddled and protected from real facts by his secretive and fanatical neocon 'managers' (despite overwhelming evidence that that's what he is).

The word domesticated means, literally, 'made property of the house'. The dogs that we (mostly) love today were domesticated over thousands of years from wolves. Anthropologists tell us that, in the early days of civilization, when people began settling in villages, wolves were attracted by the smell of their food, and started hovering around. Now the dog is totally dependent on man. A dog is more loyal to his master man than to other dogs of the same species. As man provides him food and protection. At first, villagers would drive them off with stones (or, presumably, kill them for food or fur). But the villagers had a soft spot for the young pups, and didn't kill them (at least until they got older and had already bred). Evolution thus bred a successful offshoot of the wolf -- the dog, which looked and acted eternally young and helpless, and so lived on at the pleasure of civilized humans, to the point now that there are too many dogs, and a scarcity of wolves, on our planet. Even old dogs have mostly floppy ears and a placid disposition, unlike their wolf contemporaries.

A notable exception, an animal that is domesticated and yet still wild, is the cat. Feral cats fare much better in the wild than most other domesticated creatures that have lost their independence from humans. It may be that cats never really trusted humans in the first place (and those that did died young) so that the knack and the drive to return to the wild and keep the instincts and capabilities of independence alive was selected for.

Personality cult worship arises when a country's leader uses mass media to create a larger-than-life public image through unquestioning flattery and praise.
Generally speaking, personality cults are most common in regimes with totalitarian systems of government, that seek to radically alter or transform society according to revolutionary new ideas. Often, a single leader becomes associated with this revolutionary transformation, and he becomes treated as a benevolent "guide" for the nation, without whom the transformation to a better future cannot occur. these leaders appeared as god-like infallible rulers. Their portraits were hung in every home or public building, and artists and poets were legally instructed to produce only works that glorified the leader and their political movements.
In Ethiopia who is building a cult Meless, Nega, Birtukuan or Shawel. Obviously you know the answer dont you? I leave it for your freedom
So which way to go dog or cat
