Always twisting...

In our post about when to call emergency services we tried to persuade people to not call emergency services if they can't get their McNuggets. A few weeks later we posted another example of this phenomenon. Most of our readers understood that what we wanted them to try to resolve the situation themselves and not to bother emergency services. What we didn't expect, however, was the pamphlet released by the Unholy Brotherhood of the Hole Punch that quotes us extensively and argues that people should avenge themselves rather than relying on community services. Even when we saw the pamphlet we didn't think it likely that anyone would act on this suggestion, but this incident proved us wrong.

We didn't want to have to do this, but we are now in the process of publishing our own set of pamphlets. The first is entitled "What to Do When You Can't Get Your Burger: A World Citizen's Guide to Conflict Resolution" and deals with the issues that have been causing so much pain. It is co-authored by noted psychologist Dr. Andrew Wittgenstein of Cornell University and follows the Socratic Method. We hope our supporters will help us in distributing this to all of your friends and neighbors. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not dedicated to common sense solutions!
