21. The Locust Party
The wealthy who care so little for those of us who have made them wealthy are unperturbed by the news of the struggle they have been causing. Perhaps it is time to initiate a Dickensian approach. The blight described in "A Tale of Two Cities" comes to mind. What if a blade of grass or ten were pulled from their well manicured lawns, a leaf or ten from their prized trees lining their well manicured roads? By every citizen who passes by, not in a malicious way such as they have done to us, but rather in a small but careless way. Sort of like the careless way they have been treating the citizens of the country they profess to love, but fail to notice that it is about loving people and using things rather than using people and loving things. They would soon notice the slow erosion of the beauty they think they deserve by some divine right. Locust party...just a thought.
