The Year of Unmod

In the fourteenth year all was good.  The winds were warm, the rains gentle
and the bones were in abundance.

A state of satisfaction grew in the land.  Then there were some bones that
were removed from where their owners had buried them.

The dogs were unhappy.  "when I burry a bone, let no dog but me dig it up."
was the common feeling.

It was soon discovered which fellow dogs were the "digger of other's bones".
And the respectable dogs turned against them.

After the ropes were put away and the torches distinguished, it was decided
to create an area where these unruly dogs could continue their sins.

Thus Unmod was created.  All but a few dogs never crossed over the line into
Unmod and those there, stayed in Unmod.

Much barking and fighting could be herd from Unmod, but the good dog's bones
were safely buried outside of Unmod.  So all was well.

Then the unruly dogs seen that fighting amongst themselves contained no
pleasure.  And they started crossing over the line and stealing bones from
the civilized dogs again.

In the fifteenth year there were a great exodus from the city.  Most dogs
did not want to live in a place that condoned bone stealing,  A land where
no bone was safe.

Any action that even appears to condone improper behavior only encourages
the improper behavior.
