2036: Czech authorities sue for peace after months of devastating conflict against the beaver colony.

We have always been at war with Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber).

Farmers have been at war with them. Local governments usually side with the beavers, because their longterm benefits are higher, but in right-wing crisis times the farmers will win.

I'm not sure I trust the people who get more work to do, more budget and more power out of the beavers being there anymore than I trust the farmers who would be better off with the beavers gone.

A painter will always tell you you need paint.

A roofer will always try and sell you a roof.

A tire shop will always try and sell you tires.

But we can take these people at face value?

If you want peace, prepare for war.
