It is now official. The Political Correctness Crowd has finally apexed and have seized the coveted "Holy Grail". They have wrest it from the bosom of our final defense.
Sadly, the once seemingly invincible and steadfastly loyal "KEEPERS OF THE COMMON SENSE" have fallen. The enemy has laid siege to their most prized of purposes...Control and operational capacity of the PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, and more importantly THE SIGN MAKERS UNION.
Logic and culpability have clearly gone on vacation.
"THE VERBIAGE STORM TROOPERS AND MINIONS OF MAYHEM" have been given their marching orders and as such will not be held accountable for anything.
All have been sworn in and, from what I have been lead to believe, made to pledge an oath to the reining faculty.
"PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY AT ALL COSTS"....is the new mantra.
Resistance was dealt with severely, and the conspirators were forced to attend counseling in a sweat lodge of their choice.
More extreme cases of defiance were sent overseas to an Ashram for an unspecified time.
Cold is the heart of the present day Do-Gooder
Lets analyze this thing for a moment shall we.
FIRSTLY...MAY OR MAY NOT BE CLOSED.
What can we learn from this? It would appear that the person or persons responsible for this public notification, are in fact in agreement about one thing. A road does indeed exist.
I shouldn't like to pick knits here but, I have two problems with this assessment. The signage and pylons are on the median and not the road, ergo of no value to the anal retentive public that is sure to take issue should a mishap, and god forbid, accident occur. As well I believe the correct nomenclature for this type of paved surface is actually a Street.
Possibly a Cul De Sac depending on whether or not there is an exit. I am confident this oversight is surely being addressed by the city engineers with the same zealous attention to detail and forethought as the original signage was.
As I scribe my own public notification of this blatantly absurd notice of the impending non-event happening at an, as yet to be disclosed time and location, I can only marvel at the effort to keep the public so covertly left in the dark.
Intentional, Nefarious, I leave that calculation entirely up to the conspiracy theorists out there in the hinterland of the macabre.
SECONDLY...ON OR ABOUT MAY 22/2012
Thank the Gods, Allah, Buddha, Jesus and the Dali Lama himself that none of these creators of confusion were ever allowed to keep the trains, planes and public transport systems running on time. I'm sure we all can attest to the reality, and with the absence of fear of conviction, that none of these modes of transport need any help in the inefficiency department. Horror stories abound in us all with regards to what one would consider to be a relatively simple enough task. Moving oneself from point "A" ..to the far to often elusive point.. "B"
The larger problem here as I see it, is the obvious lack of respect that advances perilously close to disdain for the inhabitants of the ROAD, STREET, AVENUE, CUL DE SAC, it claims to be warning them about. Or as in this case a non-warning with the possibility of a forthcoming operational theater in the form of some kind of labor.
But hold onto your burros here. Upon further perusal it would seemed I have erred in this evaluation.
At no time is the word "WORK" or anything remotely close to that verb ever mentioned.
Hmmm......Conspiracy theorists... You now have Carte' Blanche.
Why indeed must the street be closed???
THIRDLY...APPROX. 3 WEEKS
Three weeks....Why Three??..Why not Six?? or Five?? Since were approximating anyway, why not just use the vocabulary of the present day skate boarder...."WHENEVER DUDE"
In my estimation, they (the skateboarders) will probably be the only ones affected anyway.
Perhaps that is the true lesson here after all. Perhaps we should all just chill. It's all good.
Perhaps this attention to detail is merely a manifestation of my own neurosis.
Perhaps there is nothing more sinister going on here then just a lethargic, lackadaisical attitude toward an already, on the verge of a breakdown, over regulated society. Perhaps this is indeed, exactly what the doctor ordered. Civil disobedience in the form of passive aggressive signage.
Let's all do our part than shall we. The next time we feel the need to text, phone, e-mail, or otherwise annoy someone you think actually cares what your doing every four minutes, feel free to preface it by simply saying....I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
