“No more wastage in schools. No more tedious learning by rote...... A
brilliantly devised course, delivered by a leading teacher, subliminally
learned and checked by an infallible authority....... and what do you have?”
“A
row of cabbages!”
“Knowledgeable cabbages.”
“Knowledgeable cabbages.”
{No.2 and No.6 - The General}
Well we might have met with this "row
of cabbages" previously during the dissolution of the outgoing council at
the Town Hall during the election period of ‘Free For All.’ And as the candidate Number 6 observed, what a
bunch of “tailors dummies" they all turned out to be. And as far as I can
see, a more suited "row of cabbages" you would not wish to meet.
"Can
you laugh, can you cry, can you think? In your heads must be the remnants of a
brain. In your hearts must be the desire to be a human being again.”
Is
this what happens to those rotten cabbages in The Village? Brainwashed
imbeciles, who might once have been former Number 2's who have now been
sub-divided, and who now sit upon the Town Council without a voice, and without
power to act. A puppet regime in a twentieth century Bastille which pretends to
be a pocket democracy. It's all a farce really, as Number 6 observed. And to
think the Town Council is democratically elected once a year, according to
Number 2 and Number 6 could have been a member of the Town Council, amid those
brainwashed imbeciles, with no heart or brain, nor the desire to be a human
being again.
Solitary confinement might have been more
effective, or to get Number 6 so drunk that he wouldn’t be able to stop himself
from talking his head off! But then that might prove to be too easy, as Number
2 and The Village administration, well they do like to play their little games.
Be
seeing You
