Re:  A Failure of Accountability


"Uncle Cheeseburger.....!!"

"Yes, kids..."

"You've read us that story over and over and over..."

"Yeah, I know, but it makes me laugh every time I read it..."

"Why is it so funny, Uncle Cheeseburger...?"

"Uh, hehe...  Well, that was The Beginning...  How it all 
started...  That's how you got those little numbers imbedded in your arms 
that glow in the dark..."

"We like our numbers, Uncle Cheeseburger...!!"

"Yes, yes, I know you do, kids, but it's still funny that that is how it 
all started...  The Presidency, the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA, the 
Congress, the FBI, the State Department, the National Security Council, the 
Military, the You Name It, they all had finally decided they were all above 
the Laws of America, of the World, and of Common Decency and Humanity.  And 
then when cries arose from the peanut gallery in protest, they responded 
that no one should worry, that they were Investigating Themselves.  That 
Justice, Democracy, and Freedom were Still in good hands.  And nobody 
blinked an eye or did anything to stop it as it was all happening......."

"Why are you crying if it is all so funny, Uncle Cheeseburger....?"

"Uh, sniffle, uh, ummm, well, that's another story..."

"Then tell us why there are now only 2 people on the Supreme Court.  What 
happened to the other 7...?"

"That story fits right in with the other story, but it's a real long one 
too..."

"Uncle Cheeseburger............!!"

"Yes, kids...."

"Stop crying, dammit...!!   You're getting the rolling papers all wet and 
you know they cost $42 a pack......!!"

"Oh....  Oh, yeah....   Sorry, kids....   It's late...  I'm going to bed...."

"Night, Uncle Cheeseburger...."

"Night, kids...."

Click.


"He's such a cry baby...."

"Yeah, I know..."

"Do you think any of that stuff Uncle Cheeseburger read to us is true...?"

"Probably not.  You remember what Mama said 'Uncle Cheeseburger is living 
in the past, we live in the future'....."

"Yeah, I remember..."

"Besides, who cares, they still all investigate themselves today, what's 
the big deal...?"

"Yeah, I don't know why Uncle Cheeseburger gets all worked up over some 
silly little things like entire governments and all its agencies etc 
investigating themselves..."

"He's a cry baby, that's why...."

"Yeah, I guess you're right...."

"Besides, I like my number...."

"Yeah, me too...  Except I wanted a blue one, but all I got was this crummy 
purple one, and they gave you a blue one....."

"Go to sleep..."

"Ok...."

"Night, Judi..."

"Night, Jimi......."
