Oh sure, it may not be my place here, to offer a certain individual(s) these words of severe scolding or, better yet, these words of peremptory caution as I effort to state a long held belief that the certain individual(s)’s unruly behaviour must at this moment, cease! I realize that this posting is a really, incredibly serious injunction towards a certain individual(s), but I strongly felt, in my best honour, I had to, as of right now, disperse it!
This miniscule piece is designed to provide a tidbit of clear insight, based on a wide spectrum of beliefs and incredibly strong feelings, as to how one (or maybe two?) certain individual(s) should be addressed by way of particular wrongdoings and carrying ons. For I feel, NO, I am convinced that a certain individual(s)’s various interpretations have caused confusion throughout each of that certain individual(s) past comments, to the point that each statement of opinion of that certain individual(s), now actually hinders rather than helps our worldy wordy points of view.
And so, we must therefore access some of those long forgotten time-honoured principles, those well-grounded terms and theories that were once upon a time debated, then re-debated oh, but what seems so long ago. Clearly, we must endeavour to retain each aspect of that past knowledges effects-based thinking, that we as a people deem useful while keeping steadfast to the mission at hand. For surely over time we can, most importantly, link a desired means to this achievable, forseeable end.
Once an understanding to the wide range of variables that constitute today’s mixed-up adversities within the biggest realms and widest scopes of our complex, crazy environment is achieved, a goal will surely be attained. We must, I repeat, MUST, however, keep in mind that the aforementioned certain individual(s) is intelligently smart and creatively quite adaptive.
And so, at this time, it behooves me (but it does not behoove the reader to speculate or embroider on the precise significance of the words herein employed) to issue the certain individual(s) the RIOT ACT: An act for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies, and for the more speedy and effectual disciplining of the rioter(s) (And surely, you know who you(s) are!).
I. Whereas of late many rebellious riots and tumults have been in divers parts of this kingdom, to the disturbance of the public peace, and the endangering of his Majesty's person and government, and the same are yet continued and instigated by persons disaffected to his Majesty, presuming so to do, for that the punishments provided by the laws now in being are not adequate to such really bad offences; and by such rioters his Majesty and his administration have been most maliciously and falsly traduced, with an intent to raise divisions, and to alienate the affections of the people from his Majesty therefore for the preventing and suppressing of such riots and tumults, and for the more speedy and effectual punishing the offenders therein; be it enacted by the King's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal and of the commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That if any persons to the number of eleventeen or more, being unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously assembled together, to the disturbance of the public peace, at any time after the last day of April in the year of one thousand seven hundred and fifteen billion, and being required or commanded by any one or more justice or justices of the peace, or by the sheriff of the county, or his under-sheriff, or by the mayor, bailiff or bailiffs, or other head-officer, or justice of the peace of any city or town corporate, where such assembly shall be, by proclamation to be made in the king's name, in the form herin after directed, to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations, or to their lawful business, shall, to the number of eleventeen or more (notwithstanding such proclamation made) unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously remain or continue together by the space of a half hour after such command or request made by proclamation, that then such continuing togetherness to the number of eleventeen or more, after such command or request made by proclamation, shall be adjudged wrongdoing without benefit of clergy, and the offenders therein shall be adjudged felons or jailbirds or do-do birds, etc., and shall be forced to eat but bread and water (no bananas OR doughnuts, I repeat no bananas or doughnuts, or cartwheels) as in a case of wrongdoing without benefit of clergy or dear Leonard…to be continued.
