joke, but it has now become the only accepted philosophy. Men like Pat

wouldn't want to be like them, would you?
If you consistently follow the above rules. you will w u any
risk of BEING labeled as either an extremist" OF a super patriot." You
will have assumed the role of those famous three little monkeys who.

Unfortunately, however, like them, you will also "see no good, hear
no good, speak no good" and DO NO GOOD. In which case you may
expect a warm welcome into the ranks of the Kahfornia KuKus. From
