Who You Gonna Call?

Once upon a time, an energetic young couple invested $1,000 into a brand-new square dance club.  For the next few years they continued to build and grow the club, investing hundreds of hours and thousands of additional dollars. The club was successful. 
  
One day, a band of sorry, rotten cheaters bald-face, outright stole the business in broad daylight.  The expert swindlers worked methodically.  First they discredited and smeared the crime victims (by claiming the business owners had gone "crazy").  Next they flat-out, strong-arm stole the hard-working couple's entire life-work. 

Immoral, robbing thieves attacked an innocent, hard-working couple for no reason and completely stole ALL their hard work, monetary investment, years of labor and hundreds of (as it ends up, totally fake) friends.  The rotten, despicable robbers left the business-builders with absolutely nothing:  no income, no money, no business, no bookings, no credibility, no friends.  The cheating, swindling, immoral crooks stole everything.
 
According to legend, square dancers are fine, upstanding people.  Pretend (it's not that big of a stretch) that you're a cheating, swindling scumbag who bald-face stole a square dance club.  You need someone to call for your illicit gathering.  Among a population of allegedly "fine, upstanding people", who can you find to enable and support your stolen enterprise?
  
Let's ponder this dilemma.  All of the callers knew that one of their own professional colleagues invested years of time and thousands of dollars to build a successful club, only to have the hard-earned enterprise bald-face, out-right stolen clean away.  All of the callers knew that if they call for the stolen club, they'll get paid in robbery loot.  Here's the burning question.  Which "fine, upstanding" caller would stoop low enough to accept robbery loot and help criminals outright cheat and rob one of their "friends" and colleagues?
  
Answer:  every last scum-sucking caller on this planet.  They all gleefully and eagerly helped the robbers.  No caller gave a rat's behind about morality, civility, "friendship", justice, rightness, fairness, etc. 

Lesson learned:  if you ever want square dance calls to spew out of someone's mouth, just wave robbery loot in front of either of their two faces.

Do you support theft and robbery?  If so, you're in luck.  Just show up at the stolen club's dance.  You'll find yourself completely surrounded by other crime enthusiasts.  You can all celebrate together the vile acts of cheating and swindling hard-working people.
 
Or, you can do the right thing instead.  Avoid FunDancers, Ed Wedig, Ken & Fay Wheatley, Billy Grimsley, Arthur Wills, Wayne Weston, Bill Wright, Brad Caldwell, K O Jeanes, Les Hughes, Gary Sanders, Arnold Gladson, Darryl Lipscomb, Johnny Preston and the entire gang of cheating, rotten, swindling thieves.  Stop rewarding crime.  Support good, honest people and events instead.
