R stands for Recognize
and promote the resources available.
Except for you, of course. Now that we have that tedious bit of
housekeeping out of the way, we are free to expound on the strategic and tactical goals of
our organization; our philosophy and blueprint for action. Our mission is clear, everyone
has talents and something to offer and we want everyone to participate in the admittedly
small risks but obvious glorious rewards of rebuilding. Except for you down there.
The entire community demands we all take full responsibility for our
future and give to others, especially those less fortunate, a share in this bountiful land
of opportunity. We must follow all the laws of the community fairly to be a just society
that is inclusive to all its people. No man is an island. Except for you there on the
left.
Our legal contracts will be strictly adhered to so we can enjoy, not
only the appearance of fairness that is so vital to community building, but true equality
to all citizens. No favoritism will be shown because of wealth or standing or land
ownership or club membership, friendship or brother-in-lawship, even. Taxes will be
structured so no man is burdened with an unfair share of his brother's load. Except for
you there on the right.
We have to encourage innovation, experimentation, and risk taking to
meet the challenges of the new century. We realize that mistakes will be made in the
course of business and life to accomplish anything of value and we will support everyone
in that endeavor with the full confidence and backing of the entire organization from the
top to the bottom. Except for you there in the middle.
We need to bring out the best for society by including all people
from black to white to red to yellow to every color of the rainbow. Education, training,
internship, licensing, and continuous studies year-in and year-out are a valuable and
exciting part of our bright future and we will emotionally embrace and hold as a
lighthouse example to everyone, those that have sacrificed the long years doing without to
accomplish it. Except for you there, you seem cocky.
Our religious preference will not interfere with other people's
religious preference and we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, anyone who
violates this basic American right. No one will be allowed to be persecuted, or made fun
of on the playground of life, by any group or individual for their stupid ideas, funny
quirks, odd ways of talking, eye twitches and other politically inspired idiosyncrasies.
Except for you there in the black turtleneck with the beard.
Knowledge will be a right in our knowledge based society and
everyone is encouraged and welcome to participate in the advancement of our society
through life long involvement. We publicly admonish those who stay home and don't
participate in our grand processes for the obvious greater good. In fact, we put the blame
of society's problems squarely on your shoulders. Even so, humbly, we extend yet another
heartfelt invitation to all of those that feel, silly as it may seem to us here in
control, even the slightest bit uncomfortable and unwelcome. Except for that smirking slut
over there.
Our mission statement is in place, our tactical structure is
outlined and life is good. Entitled under the conditions prescribed in its by-laws, to
exercise all the rights and privileges granted thereunder to members, with all the
exceptions duly noted for the record, I now pronounce all of thee fit to be part of this
organization. Lets get to work! Except for you there with the hunchback.
Now that the sworn oath has been given to members, binding us all to
a higher purpose and committing us to uphold the duties aforementioned for the betterment
of all (except for you there with the big bazooms), we will now take a mandatory roll call
as outlined in our charter by-laws. Where'd everybody go?
