In some ivy-league university in some modern time-through-space a very bright
tenured faculty member researches “Government-grants to-education” give-aways
unearthing several most lucrative “incentives”
to enrich the overstuffed coffers of her employer, all the “Good” lady need do is navigate the maze of applications,
social forms, political interviews, secret-words
for the day, meet fabricated deadlines properly “stamped and sealed” y the
appropriately-appointed "zombies" of the bureaucratic ranks among other “hoops” to jump through and then
display an inordinate amount of patience awaiting some legislative mumbo-jumbo
fleecing the American taxpayer yet just once more for train loads of cash to be
poured down another rat hole!
Hero to the school,
administration, Board-members and “Ooh-ed" and "Aah-ed” by fellow contemporaries
as indispensable our Miss Procurer-of-“free”-money celebrates her faux-celebrity. All she need do is “busily” properly complete “necessary” forms and
rake in the cash!
Of all vacant dichotomies the Princess
might encroach upon in her desperate-desire to enhance her beneficiary-resume
to the institution and preserve and advance her value to the bottom-line while also maintaining a “Keeping up
appearances”-façade for her adoring, though secretly envious, contemporaries is to uncover some “free”-treasure trove to be fully exploited.
Thus, “The ‘Truth experiment” is born! Voila!
Free-money! So simple! Too easy! Wow!
As with any and all “social”
experiments along with governmental-political disingenuous demonstrations of
sheer “idiocy” utilizing other-people’s-money (OPM) the highly-suspect
conclusions are pre-determined “inductive”-reasoning logic-conclusions of scripted-outcome.
And---always…no consideration is planned
for the consequences of ill-conceived larceny.
So? Now the Authority has captured “free” taxpayer money strictly-limited by a
lump-sum cap with a codicil promising to “see” the project through with additional sums---as,,,needed!
I once had a friend who worked for the “state”
and had every weekend “Free” until
one Saturday and Sunday he had to
work. I asked “Why?” and he easily explained that the fiscal-year was ending
and his division still had unspent money available and if they didn’t use it the department would not get their “automatic” annual 10% budget increase! Holey-moley! Wow!
The sacred
faux-vacant “Mission statement”: To access societal-conclusions practicing Truth!
With Great-fanfare,
the university, in conjunction with a prestigious cabinet support-unit will
publicize the coming event and encourage citizen-participation countrywide for only one week.
Speeches ensued! Promised assaulted
reason! Money flowed! A date was set! Nirvana! Amen!
For one week the people of the United States
would pledge, and abide by the oath, to live
and speak only Truth! in all manner of commerce and to one another. The erudite committee members would assemble and
access the results upon the society and culture resulting thereof.
80% of the “participants” decided “out-of-hand”
not to speak during that damnable
week; another 19%+ would pledge an oath with absolutely no intention to keep it. The remainder would quite simply continue
their trace of living plain, simple
and honest as they forever had done
so.
Some of the practiced-transgressors actually tried “Truth”
several attempts with the usual
results and none proved worthwhile to
the executioners; life went on same as always. A waste!
Several elite auto brands, Designer
clothes and purse manufacturers suffered slight losses, jewelry stores reduced
hours, expensive restaurant chains lost profit. After a week? S-O-S (Same ole
stuff)! Nothing changed; the old world continued to turn; day shone sunshine,
moon glowed.
And---the university…sought yet score-more
most lucrative scams raiding the
money coffers.
“The
Truth experiment” exposed and proved purposeful evil-lies acceptance by a society!
Amen!
