A Fact & a Question

A Fact:  Some thirty-years-plus ago a foreign country invades a small island with a population of roughly 500,000 idiots, they rape and they pillage and when they are done they simply occupy a big chunk of that island. In addition a few years later they carve their huge flag on a mountain side* making it an unprecedented daily provocation to the people in the unoccupied part of the island. A few years later they also add lights to the huge flag, which can be seen from space ( that's what I heard). Now, the government of the island in order to pacify the invaders and show the rest of the world its good intentions has being giving electricity (free of charge) to the invaders for the last thirty-plus-years. That's a fact. 

A Question:  Now isn't it plausible for one to wonder whether part of that electricity consumption its allocated for the lighting of the christmas-tree-like flag on the mountain range (it even flickers at timed intervals)? I am. And I'll be damned, but those are one hell of a lot of bulbs!! 

Post Script Questions:  What's the name of the sucker who gets  to pay the electricity tap? What about senseless waste of electricity at a time of soaring oil prices. Do the islands tax-payers pay for the running of the invaders' military camps?


* 94.160 sq meters: the size of the flag. Thats quite a few football stadiums.

Comparative fairytale version of the above story written by the great essayist Leon Pink:
"Once upon a time, a vicious king, of barbaric ferocity fame, sodomized a young blue-eyed princess and kept doing so for many many years. The poor princess' husband, poorer in his wisdom as well, thought that he could pacify the vicious animal of a king. In order to do so he provided the king with ample quantities of lubricant.  For many years later the king continued to sodomize the young princess with ease, thanks to the steady flow of jars of lubricant. And they all lived happily ever after! THE END"
