A Secret Word

The recruits must quickly learn that the Ruling Powers treat polite requests as a short-lived virus that will soon be gone and forgotten.  A real tyrant accepts a shouted demand as a minimal, civilized request.  If you’re gonna hand around power, you gotta learn to speak the language.

Can there be “words without thoughts” – “acts without awareness” – “consciousness without will”?  Can words “be” before the apparent, appropriate coordinating thought? 

(Hint Number 19:  Only routine mental operations find this question outré.)

Just so that you can hear it here first, remember: Neither the man in the gutter, nor in the grave, has much to fear from a recession.

There is a certain secret word which I do not yet feel free to tell you, but I believe it safe to give you its definition.  The word means,
“Ridiculous, even if true;
while may be valid, is still silly.”

Tis’ said, “The greatest remedy for anger is delay.”  (And I might add, unless you’re the delivery boy to an impatient High Grand Executioner.)
