Persistent Manipulative StateBy Rick Horowitz "When do we start?" "Not yet. Soon." "How soon?" "Very soon. As soon as the cameras arrive." "I don't see any cameras." "There will be cameras. There are always cameras. Anything worth doing is worth doing in front of cameras." "So we wait." "We wait." "Soon, though." "Very soon." "And once the cameras are here?" "We lament. We denounce. We decry." "We demand?" "If necessary. We also demonstrate. We also fulminate. We also legislate." "We legislate?" "If necessary. The will of the people must be expressed." "Do the people agree with us?" "The will of the people who agree with us must be expressed." "And the other people?" "Let them find their own cameras." "What happens once we legislate?" "Once we legislate, there is law." "And the law will be enforced." "Unless the courts disapprove." "Why would the courts disapprove?" "They could say our claims lack merit. They could find our actions unconstitutional." "Wouldn't that be embarrassing?" "Courts are not easily embarrassed." "Wouldn't that be embarrassing to us?" "We are never embarrassed." "So what happens if the courts disapprove?" "We find another court." "A higher court?" "To overrule the lower court." "And if they won't overrule the lower court?" "We find another court. Or we pass another law." "How many courts are there?" "More than enough." "How many laws are there?" "As many as we want." "Then this could take time." "We have all the time in the world." "Aren't there deadlines? We said there were deadlines. A human life can last only so long." "A human life can last only so long." "Exactly." "But politics is forever." "When do we start?" "Not yet. Soon." "How soon?" "Very soon. As soon as the cameras arrive." Posted 3/24/05. Rick
