I should admit that I like goats. They are plucky, enterprising, stubborn, tough, gritty little critters with minds of their own....somewhat like other critters we know.
As a result, I have a natural sympathy with goats and with goatherds. Herding goats is more difficult than herding sheep, howbeit, for different reasons.
It's difficult to herd sheep because sheep are truly mindless and innocent. They will find a low hill and stand on it in the midst of floodwater and keep standing there instead of seeking higher ground in the midst of rising water until they drown. Their rationale, similar to that of American taxpayers seems to be, "Well, my feet are still on the ground so I must be okay, even if my nostrils are under water."
