Breaking Ranks

oh, how they do not like it when you throw in the towel for their side (exhausted by the infernal beating of one’s head against the wall) & you join the adversary--- funny how quickly you can be accepted by those who obviously got their *****together better than the bozos whom you been working with, for the past bit of time--- don’t think for a second that it will come easy & don’t think for a second that when you walk away, you won’t get your tail stepped on, when trying to pass quietly out the door, because they feel you owe them something, for all the time that you were “allowed” to parade in ignorance underneath their big ol’ banner bearing the slogans & various images of current idiocy, as if the whole world would one night fall into order, your order, the new world order, of which it seems everybody with a stake in the power structure, always is looking for an angle, a way to manipulate the rest of us--- but this time, you were lucky, ya got out before they dragged ya out by your toe tag, when you proved no longer viable--- congrats! good to have you aboard.
