The Greater Good

How they get you?

Tony Blair knows this one all too well. You are set up.

One day, they ask you to cross the line a little bit. It is for the greater good. But what did you get paid for crossing that line? Was it what you thought? Or was it one of those “Look, it’s just a safety precaution. This will never happen.”

Except when it does. In full daylight.

Once it happens, they have you. If you don’t go along, you might as well be homeless. Turned out to pasture. "Services no longer beneficial to our agenda."

And the greater good? You looked away. It is on the other side of the fence from where you now stand. You are now one of them. No redemption. This was that policy underwritten by Faust. You accepted the premiums --- now the payout is that stigma of moral bankruptcy. Lasts longer than 10 years. That is a shame.

Even as the Crawford Rattler winds away behind the rocks, you are naked because they never were going to let you be one of them. Yeah, right. These guys play a mean hand…and they cheat…at winning. And you were just another card being played on a televised hand. Everybody saw you, all proud and successful.

But the other stuff.... Yeah, Google has you on record, for ever. You are electronically monitored and tied to that point in time. For your ever.

Them, they’re still wild and crazy eyed. And they are laughing, … at you. Well, because you were doing it for the greater good. Mmmm-humh.
