If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang
a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under
the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb towards the
banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold
water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with same result
...all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when
another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to
prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it
with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the
stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the
stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new
one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer
takes part in the punishment... with enthusiasm.
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a fourth,
then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is
attacked.
Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not
permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are
participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Finally, having replaced
all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever
been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, none of the monkeys will try to
climb the stairway for the banana. Why, you ask? Because in their
minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how government operates and is why, from time to time,
ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.**

More Monkeys?
