I love the idea of conspiracies.
They make me all warm and fuzzy. The thought of a small group of people
orchestrating a complicated plan to pull something over on the rest of the
world just affirms my belief in the power of the human spirit.
I am not kidding.
Actually, if any real, far-reaching government conspiracy were actually
true (say, they've been hiding a captured UFO in some abandoned air force
hangar for 50 years), I would be forced to raise my opinion of the
government. I mean, the efficiency and organization necessary to pull off
some of the conspiracies postulated is so amazing -- one would _have to_
applaud any successful devious dealings.
Long ago I announced the impending formation of Meep's Militia. I am
definite that there is at least one member of this elite corps. That
project will be put under the heat lamp while I declare my open conspiracy
of one. Some may already know my conspiracy. It has been evident in the
way I play games like Magic and Diplomacy. My conspiracy has manifested
itself in secret messages to unsuspecting passers-by. One can join in my
conspiracy only tangetially -- we can be parallel travellers in making
life more interesting for the rest of the world.
Have you ever noticed that social order is actually a large conspiracy?
But soft, I must not let the secret pass my lips. Ponder it yourselves.
Savor the juicy flavor and roll it about between your frontal lobes.
Isn't it scrumptious?
I looked into your eyes, they told me plenty
I already knew.
