Chapter Two
Once upon a time, in a land that considers
decorative benches "patio furniture"....
... in order to punish impudent noncompliant
minions for their acts of defiance...
...another egregious act took place
in the shire to warrant further prosecution from the lords of the
manor.....
...following an exhaustive examination of the
properties in the hobbit community.
The trees located in the front of their
shacks have been
measured...
and low and behold...
....some have failed to meet a
minimum height requirement of 5 feet !
"Off with their heads",
cried the administrative Sheriff from the Hall of Judgment the Lords have
employed to manage the shire.
This cannot be...they must be removed
immediately...or face imprisonment and fine !
So...a frightened minion who was found to be in
noncompliance with the Laws of the Land, made contact with the sheriff and asked
if the matter could be discussed.
"We are a fair bunch who judge
the merits of our minions. We take seriously their concerns", cried the
sheriff, pointing out the monthly meetings held in the town square to address
such atrocities.
And so...the minion made an attempt to clarify the
problem by writing a letter to the sheriff in order that the matter might be
more closely examined...
You see, the minion made the
mistake of planting 3 foot trees rather than the required 5
feet....
...trying to convince the enforcement agent that
trees grow over time ...
...and that one day...
...believe it or
not....
...those 3 feet trees would some day bloom to the proud height of 5 feet,
and all would be well.
"Oh no, that is not how we
handle such matters", wrote the sheriff in reply to the minion's
correspondence.
"These trees do NOT meet
current laws, and must be removed immediately and replaced with 5 foot trees, or
face severe punishment for violation of community
standards".
However....
"You have the right of appeal
and address the ruling body to plead your
case".
And so...the minion, in belief of fairness, made
the appeal request, and off she went to the conference of dignitaries who would
decide such serious concerns.
...where she met the ruling body...who would judge
the merits of the appeal request.
First there was the sheriff who brought the
violation to the attention of the ruling body.
Then the remaining Lords entered the
chamber to conduct the trial.
The president...who believes only she
has the correct knowledge and power in order to pass judgment.....that any and
all other sources of information are not reliable, and are merely misinformation....

Yes...this is who the minion would
face to determine whether or not the 3 ft. trees would find mercy in the court
and allow them to grow to the required 5 feet minimum requirement
!
What will happen to the existing 3 feet
trees has yet to be determined.
Should the minion be allowed the
exception...
....to allow the existing 3 feet palm
trees to survive....or should they be destroyed and replaced with 5 feet ones
that meet the minimum requirement?
Yes...someone
actually is being paid real money....your
money...to measure the height of trees in
order to determine if they meet yet another RULE....
Ridiculous ?
We think
so....
Our reaction to this latest purge of
our residents.....
...a complete waste of our
dues money....
