I know that Rotary is to remain non-political. But the enticing of children to "strike" (without doubt organized by adults with political aims) demands at least an appropriate quotation. Note: "The opinion of the Editor does not necessarily represent that of management".
"This narrow focus is so common that the military has its own name for it, incestuous amplification, … a tendency whereby one only listens to those who are in lockstep agreement, reinforcing set beliefs and creating a situation ripe for miscalculation." Thomas Gilovich, ‘The Wisest Man in the Room’
 

Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerged between heaven and hell. God invited the devil for conversations to find a way to resolve this dispute quickly. Satan, the devil, proposed an AFL game between heaven and hell.

The devil, smiling, responded "Yeah, but we've got all the refs'..."  [and this might well include the video refs who disallowed two of the Pies' goals at Saturday's Preliminary Final ... Ed.] angry
