Maybe.
Or, maybe it is symbolic of the destructive force of a cannibalistic force attempting to conquer the allusive smaller and lighter entity that hovers just out of it's reach.

In reality, it's a dangerous chameleon, attempting to mimic food so as to entice it's prey close enough to pounce upon it and devour it. Not political at all. Just the life of survival of the fittest.

Amazon.com

I googled because I was not sure what I was seeing. Is it fake? I do not know. But did find this.

Oh come on, can’t you see it - it’s the beauty of Freedom perched precariously on the verge of possible elimination.
Lol, thank you, this was a fun post - we can spin just like the pros.

Huh, Re: original source, no one posted that line. Is it like when a Dr taps your knee with a rubber hammer?
In any case it is easy to type it in on whatever search engine you use and discover a source for that line or a similar one.

I believe that symbol is used to denote a product is made of pure cotton.

Default The OP is so correct!

Totally agree with the original poster. I would believe this forum was intended to assist residents with questions, not to support or promote the posters political views. It is sad that a select few posters are intent on telling everyone else how wrong their views are. In many cases civility ceases to exist. Your beliefs are your beliefs, not necessarily mine. Wouldn't it be great to focus on how fortunate it is to live in The Villages rather than ripping it apart, and being suspicious of every decision or opinion that is posted? Those that are so opposed to the environment of the Villages always have a choice to change their address and move to whichever utopia they wish.

I have recently thought about unsubscribing to TOTV as the negative posters take too much of my time and energy. It's the positive and helpful posters that keep me coming back. Thank you to those positive posters.

Facebook and Twitter may have it right...ban those posters you disagree with!

Wow, that last comment really blew me away. No conversation unless it agrees with your views. Scary world we live in these days if we permit and agree with censorship in the Land of the Free.

These dark media forces get many of their anti-democracy ideas from Russian bots and Putin propaganda. By the time these "ideas of division" get down to the average person ; they gleefully repeat it as if it is cute and they originated it. They NEVER realize that it is propaganda designed by a foreign adversary to pour salt into the cracks formed in US society. Be careful about thinking of yourself as just a harmless, "rebel without a cause" when in reality you could be the unwitting purveyor of propaganda.

The Villages is like ANY other place, it is NOT perfect. Therefore, criticism is justified and appropriate. Criticism if acted upon, can create improvement. The Colonies criticized England and the result is America today. What's NOT to like about criticism?
