   ### - totally correct! but then they don't TELL that to 2 or 3-year olds   
   when they NEEDS to hear it do they! nah, they instead introduce 'em to   
   their starter-for-10 in the whole damn mess: santa claus and the fuckin'   
   tooth fairy!   
      
   no, they wait until people are 'already' well & truly completely caught-up   
   in some kinda fucked-up shit, and then they SAY oh now you can be trusted   
   coz you're just like us!?! welcome to the machine bro!   
      
   lol just ask serpico, he'll tell ya how it goes heh ;)   
      
   and so ok, ya makes a wrong turn... 'everyone' in planet wallyworld MAKES   
   (has made) that same wrong turn at some point or they'd be enlightened   
   outsiders already! we ALL make that same wrong turn by default!   
      
   but that situation isn't always completely irretrievable, there's many   
   clear examples of people surviving the process, of square pegs being   
   brutally pounded into round holes (gets all its edges knocked-off see) and   
   yet somehow remaining intact, or if not entirely intact (because there's   
   definitely some missing parts now) then something maybe even better that,   
   once formed correctly, can now handle both eventualities, such people   
   being survivors in the sense that they didn't totally lose their humanity   
   in the rending process, and are, if anything, all the more illumined &   
   aware for it! and if they then half to walk with a slight limp then am   
   sure they wear it proudly...   
      
   malcomb X is another such a story, i mean boy THERE was a murderous turd   
   who NEEDED to get flushed! DID get flushed! and yet... somehow... against   
   all the possible odds... clawed his way back right outta HELL itself to   
   some kinda normal state again, and who then (probably because of that huge   
   effort) carried on and went even farther/climbed all the way to the damn   
   top where no fucker goes!!!   
      
   "i'm sorry!," he said when he saw it: i've made a terrible mistake! i was   
   wrong: ALL men are brothers!   
      
   and then they (both sides lol) murdered the fucker all of about only 10   
   minutes later hah!   
      
   "shut him up! we've gots a lot invested in all this: 'segregation of the   
   races' business!"   
      
   and they DID shut him up, permanently...   
      
   as they so often do on this planet lol, it's a well-worn wallyworld   
   custom/tradition, so watch yourself out there bud haha :)))   
      
   that wot we absolutely GOTS to understand... is that IF someone LIKE   
   malcomb X (a black guy in prison without a hope in the world!) can make it   
   (and he really DID make it all the way!) then there's hope for everyone in   
   this story! especially those who're NOT so badly off/hopeless (as 'he'   
   was) to begin with!   
      
   so it's not just a simple matter of NOT getting INTO trouble in the first   
   place, it's more a natter of realising the trouble one is already IN and   
   then finding a way out of it! ;)   
      
   in which case only escape artists need apply heh :)))
