From Paris to Istanbul

In all your major cities, it is prohibited for the collective to be foolish.  There is good reason the more conscious are always in the minority, and it has nothing to do with their number.

Life told one guy:
"Look, if the sun gets too bright,
all you've gotta’ do is whine."

A man wrote the Now-You-See-Him-Now-You-Don't Doctor and asked:

"Dear Doctor:  If someone becomes conscious enough,
do they disappear?"

And the doctor had to ask if the writer meant physically or otherwise.

The Announcer declared,

"Let all in favor say 'Yea!' and all opposed, 'Nay!'.”
“Now shake hands and go back to being one."

Query:

Why would someone go to all the effort to travel from Paris to Istanbul and then get off the train with the same crumbs in their lap that were there when they started the trip?
