when real people speak truthfully that really bugs some people. They live in their woven mat place, like a moth that is crafting it's own cacoon.
and when you pull up that cover or mat, where the moths are, they all get disturbed because they were resting in to lay their eggs and die.
but we are not moths. If you hate people and think they are stupid now is the time for me to tell you : they are stupid about somethings, you are stupid about others but the real tragedy is that you might have a purpose with them, and common cause that isn't just forced decoorum of the hazing that modern society does to everyone (brush your teeth, pay your taxes, dont' complain about the bad music and poison lyrics).
but now we do complain.
and we say 'maybe our taxes ought to go to an independant place before the town people get their claws near it '
and we can say 'all the hatred is really stupid'
however that doesn't stop us fro seeing and saying 'ok, al lyou town people wiht your claws, now is the time that you put them back. you need to give back some of what you stole'
but if they didn't steal anything?
then they have nothing to worry about.
in politics it is expected that the politicians are all theives. So when one isn't that shocks the world. but what hpapens then? the pepole around him say ' oh, look, head-guy isn't paying attention, lets do some theft'.
but what if they are all honest too?
that would be a rare thing in politics.
but the point: theft is expected, in politics. But if the theft is done the people see it and expect a 'gift back' to the city or population.
a potlatch is thus desired.
but that can be very very wasteful. some will be taxed for the excess of gifting.
The better way is when the politians are honest and do not steal so much.
but they usually will anyway.
in that case they'd better die broke.
that's the model: you must die broke.
but that ought to happen, if you are a good person, when you are very very old.
so a good crook politician who shares everything will 'die broke' but his family and community won't be.
a bad crook will die very wealthy, and his family will not live, anymore, in the district.
and he will not be well remembered.
