Don’t fix…

Satiricus was fond of Americanisms. And that’s why he really didn’t mind Rum Jhaat affecting an American accent and talking about “gonna” do this and “gonna” do that. Never mind the jerk hadn’t spent more than a couple of weeks in the States. Heck maybe he’d been looking at old John Wayne movies on TV. Lets mosey down to the saloon for some liquor, pardner.
But Satiricus would’ve never thought the ex-Talker Rum-Kara was also taken by the American way. In fact, Satiricus always believed that Rum-Kara was a very proper British gentleman who naturally thought the Americans were loud and crass. But here was the man, if the Stabber News was to be believed, advising his old party the PPCEE to bruk up their party leadership and put in a new one.
The only people Satiricus knew who broke up things that worked perfectly well were the Americans. His cousin Albert who lived in the States was always telling Satiricus and the boys when he visited, about how those people would break down perfectly good buildings just to put up new ones. Satiricus figured this was what happened when you had too much and you had nothing to do. He didn’t think this was the situation with the PPCEE. Satiricus thought about why Rum-Kara wanted change in the leadership structure. The old man had introduced the structure when the party had been under great pressure.
But today the party was under even greater pressure. The party then had to speak with a united voice. Today the people needed that more than anything. The party had to stave off comrades who jumped ship. Today there were even more of those rats.
Satiricus asked himself which was the most successful leadership structure in the world today? He didn’t have to think long: the Chinese. They had done what no other leadership group had ever done before. Raised more people out of poverty than anytime in the history of mankind.
Look at how that new Chinese president was handing out billions of dollars in aid, like if it was small change!! And he did it with the very leadership structure that Rum-Kara was saying the PPCEE should “bruk-up”. And you didn’t have to be communist to use the same structure.
Satiricus remembered that it was the same structure that Singapore and Korea had also used – and look how well they had done.
Then the thought struck Satiricus like a bolt of lightning.
“Had Rum-Kara decided to take revenge on his old buddies for dumping him?” Revenge, Satiricus remembered, was always served cold. And to have his old party bruk up the only thing that had made it survive all the PNC pressures, would be cold indeed! But then Satiricus remembered. Pressie and his party leaders also had family in the States. They would remind him of another Americanism: If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.
