In days of old when Knights were sleeping peacefully in Lady Somebody's bed, violence was a romantic notion that enabled little boys to punch their father's kneecaps. Those were the days when commonsense, honesty and decency were taught in schools with the aid of physical discipline when necessary. Real violence lived in distant lands and was recorded as black and white news reels and shown in the Saturday morning 3d picture theatres. There was a local murder every year or so, but they were due to males frothing at the mouth after being kicked out of the pub at six o'clock and the trams rattling down the middle of the road. Then along came progress called the TDS (Two Deadly Sins). Parking meters and arrogant expediency. Both were highly objectionable and achieved nothing sensible. But officialdom regarded money as the root of self righteousness and thus it came to pass that mental disenchantment was introduced in New Zealand. Over time the violence increased and we now have two or three murders a week and other outrageous crimes have become the norm. Most of us have learned to live with the threat of personal violence but there are hints that certain elements of the population are unable to cope with the cupidity of officialdom. For example in recent times; Man shoots cop dead and heroically turns sixteen illegally stashed firearms upon himself. Man in wheelchair shooting up neighbourhood for something exciting to do, shot dead by cops. Highly educated man stabs ex girl friend more than two hundred times and blames work stress. Several families kill smiling babies and hide behind closed mouths. Man stabs his throat protesting at jail sentence. TV news shows blood from head to foot. Sentencing Judge runs two miles in fifteen seconds. Two shot bodies found in a quiet neighbourhood. Gang fight in forest town; two shot, one stabbed. Thirteen-year-old girls declare sex education not taught in schools and demand teenage pop star solve their backwardness forthwith. Women and two toddlers found dead. Man commits suicide caused by leaky house syndrome. Hundreds on suicide watch. Three boy racers killed by dangerous concrete wall. Ditto, ditto and ditto, etc etc. The deaths and injustices continue and sooner or later somebody will write a series of novels dedicated to repetitive misfortunes. Serious crime is always an interesting subject and inevitably there would be an increasing number of best sellers. One gets sick of the memoirs of drunken sports heros. When one analyses the cause of society's stress, the blame must inevitably lie with those who insist they are highly intelligent and dictate how the rest of us should behave. The self righteous "Bedlam Experts" perfect the historic portrayal of feathering their own nests beyond the bounds of practical reasoning. Yet they learn nothing sensible or accept responsibility for their ego driven actions that are largely the cause of societies problems. According to the "Bedlam Experts," the pith of doom is always caused by the common people, not those who deservedly accept public funding as a matter of right. For the "Bedlam Experts" are above the sins of the common man. Are they not employed to improve the peasant's situation? Do they not appear on TV as the people's representative? If they are not up to scratch, why were they selected? Why are the people so universally untrusting? However, they will look into the matter on the behalf of the herds of Jackass Mentality in due course. But the time isn't right for an extended enquiry at this point in time. There's a financial depression turning official overspending into an embarrassing deficit. Just to maintain twice the number of employees actually needed, requires careful budgeting. Surely the peasants can see there's no room for personal tax cuts? With the cost of booze and cigarettes rising, it's simply not practical to reduce income taxes. The increasing violence is unfortunate but the "Bedlam Experts" are well protected by storm troopers with bullet proof vests, balaclavas, automatic firearms and rounded sunglasses to make them look like the internationally acclaimed RCZ (Riot Causing Zombies). If the peasants dare to express dissatisfaction with official policy, they will be arrested in the name of the edicts that serve officialdom's needs. Law and order must be maintained at all times. Peasants who object by shaking their heads in bewilderment will be declared terrorists and dealt with accordingly. Containers are the answer. Divide them into cells and lock the miscreant up for three lifetimes. That will stop the complaints that the peasant's interests are being ignored. Officialdom should discreetly inform the news media to the fact that the real reason the NZ Army exists is to protect the smirking intellectual giants from the violence of the brain dead peasants. The peasants are so dumb they will never realise that peace is maintained by violence or the threat of violence. Has it ever occurred to the "Bedlam Experts" that the peasants are merely responding to the way they're being treated? As a way to negate the overbearing authorities, pot and party pills provide relaxation from anxiety but can lead to extreme violence. But it must be remembered that never in the history of mankind have the peasants ever started a war, nor have they declared thinking for oneself as being unpatriotic. But they are well aware how official overindulgence could be regarded as unbridled terrorism. |
