Howdy Ed,
In the great poker game of life as played at the back table in the Dime Box
Saloon, there are many different types of poker players entering and exiting
the game. Surprisingly, none are in it for entertainment. On occasion, a
player has a "watcher" standing behind you signaling your hand. Another has
cards up their sleeve and in their boot. mirrors on their rings etc.
A player must understand the rules before sitting down to play. There are no
rules except..
Rule number one.. the house makes the rules. Second rule.. the house makes
the rules.
Third rule.. the house makes the rules.
WHy?..because they make the chips that you buy for gold to play in their
game. It's their game and their rules.
Who are "They".. they are they!!.. as the line from the movie " The wild
Bunch" so stated.
They are ordinary people working for the gov'ment.. with extraordinary
power. Beginning with fond intentions, they quickly learn this power is
both.. unlimited and extremely valuable to gain wealth, and sex. Did I say
"cult", no. I didn't have to tell you something you already knew.
