A Lesson In Irony

[Irony: the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning]

   Two Statements to consider:

  We are told to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics.
BUT on the other hand, we are also encouraged TO judge ALL Gun Owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
 
  Now, just HOW is that supposed to work .....??

  The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 47 million people as of the most recent figures available in 2013.
 
   Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." 
 
  Their stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
 
Thus Ends Today's Lesson On Irony!!
