Down in the dirt

The standard for authority, is to get people to do things that don't come naturally, make their lives more difficult and change the clocks on them in order to keep the equilibrium from settling in enough to make some worthwhile and relevant changes. If this wasn't such a constant, and taking place in so many venues, I would think myself a bit daft. It is happening at work during our union negotiations, wherein the new contract the man wants way too many ounces and isn't giving any back; and in the greater realm where everything changes for the sake of keeping the imbalance in order to sustain any sense of peace or dare I say security.
