Reap what you sow

Pssst.  Hey you!  Will you help?  Here's the deal.  A group of swindlers cheated and robbed an innocent couple out of their life's work.  Now the crooks need your help to spend the robbery loot.  Will you aid and abet criminal scumbags?
  
If you're a square dancer in the San Antonio or Austin area, or a square dance caller anywhere, the answer is obviously a resounding YES. 

 

So here's my suggestion.  Seeing as you're such a big proponent of theft and looting, why don't you become their next robbery victim?  Yes, that's a grand idea.  Start your very own square dance club.  Spend years of your time and thousands of your dollars to build it up.  The very minute it becomes self-sufficient, let the swindlers steal it right out from under your nose.
  

When you refuse to silently take a robbin', enjoy watching the dirtbags smear your hard-earned good name all to hell and back.  Observe while your fake "friends" gladly support and endorse the lying robbing swindlers who cheated you (in one fell swoop) out of the venture which took years of your time (and thousands of your dollars) to build.
 

In closing, I actually have NO problem with the fact that you support lying cheating robbing swindlers ... as long as you are willing to become their next robbery victim.  So, enjoy wallowing in the filth of someone else's criminal acts, but don't get all indignant when you become the target of the next robbery.  After all, if you support the robbery of your "fellow square dancer" then surely you can support the same concept when you become the crime victim.

  
Or ... here's an idea ... you can do the right thing instead.  You can stop endorsing theft.  You can refuse to reward people who rob and steal.  You can find good honest activities to support.  With all of the decent legitimate square dance events around, why on earth would you chose a cheating robbing swindled club?

Need Your Help to Figure This Thing Out

Here's the situation. FunDancers ran up thousands of dollars in debt. One day, while the person who was owed the thousands of dollars was out of town, the rest of them had a meeting. They decided to:

• default on the debt, without paying even one single penny they owed
• outright steal thousands of dollars
• steal the entire club
• tell numerous lies
• swindle and cheat their so-called "friend"
• take over the stolen club, and 
• use the robbery loot to continue operations.

Here's the part where I need your help to figure this thing out. Why on earth would you participate in, celebrate, enable or even tolerate such swindling, cheating bald-face robbery? Don't you consider yourself to be a "good" person?  If you're really a good person, then why would you help someone cheat and steal?  Can't you find an honest dance to go to instead? Out of all the dances you could choose, why would you chose the only area dance where rotten immoral scumbag crooks totally robbed and swindled an innocent couple out of their life's work?

In other words, if you supported the robbing cheating swindling lying crooks, what were you thinking??? Why is the simple concept of "avoid a crime scene" so difficult for you to comprehend?

A Catchy Poem

You've all heard the famous rhyme:

Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

The crime happened in 1892. Today, we're still chanting rhymes about that long-ago crime. What's even more amazing is that Lizzie Borden got clean away with murder. It went to trial but the jury could not believe that a sweet adorable woman could actually commit such a terrible crime on her own parents.

She was acquitted.

Likewise and similarly, the crooks and robbers who outright stole the FunDancers square dance club also got clean away with their crimes. Square dancers are kind, trusting individuals. Whenever a situation clearly calls for us to recognize and react to vile despicable acts, most square dancers completely bury their head in the sand. They just can't believe that other square dancers are capable of downright rotten strong-arm robbery and theft.

To be fair, it's not _just_ square dancers who are easily hoodwinked. Mankind has been overrun with stupid gullible people throughout history. Whenever our friends and acquaintances engage in a horrible crime, our first inclination is to pretend it did NOT happen.

Yet .... in the case of the swindling cheaters who stole FunDancers ... it really did happen. The huge damage it caused to the square dance movement is severe and permanent. And those thieves got clean away with it, thanks to your inability to face the truth.

The rotten jerks who stole Fundancers owed many thousands of dollars in legitimate debt to the club founder. They never tried to pay even one cent they owed. Instead, they concocted a plan to outright steal the money in broad daylight while the club owners were out of town. Then they used the robbery loot to hire immoral callers to call for unscrupulous dancers.

If you dance or call at FunDancers, then you assist, support, enable and glorify rogues who swindle, cheat and rob. You help lowdown crooks get away scot-free with outright bald-face theft.

Let's put it in simple terms. If you don't do everything in your power to help shut down FunDancers, then YOU are a crime-enabler.

Here's the old rhyme from 1892, updated to fit today's reality.

FunDancers did a criminal act,
You helped the crooks, that's a fact.
How in the world can you call it fun,
to help swindling cheaters take the money and run?

Who You Gonna Call?

FunDancers was founded as a welcome alternative to the unpleasant dysfunctional politics of other square dance clubs. Alas, the plan backfired when seasoned crooks silently infiltrated FunDancers. The bad guys waited patiently while the club organizers / developers / builders invested years of hard work and thousands of dollars to grow the new club.

The club eventually became profitable which also meant that it had grown large enough to be worth stealing. That's exactly what the swindlers were waiting for. They outright stole the club away from the founders / workers / builders. Unlawful crooks used their superior skills of lying and cheating, along with their well-rehearsed talent for gossip and defamation, to steal the club (along with thousands of dollars in actual cash money) and to turn hundreds of so-called "friends" vehemently against the good people who started and grew the club.

When it first happened, the situation still seemed manageable. After all, square dancers are supposed to be fine upstanding people. Surely square dancers know the difference between good and evil, right? Surely no square dance caller would help criminals rob and cheat honest people, right? Surely the crooks could never find a caller who will knowingly accept stolen robbery loot, right?

WRONG!

To avert the very slight chance that any caller was completely unaware of the robbery, the club's founder / organizer / builder / crime-victim personally contacted every scheduled guest caller. He informed each potential crime-enabler that the club still owed a ton of money to the founders. Robbers and swindlers outright stole the club in broad daylight, thus cheating the club builders out of years of hard work and thousands of dollars. The club planned to use loot from the robbery to hire guest callers.

What happened next was a total surprise.

Would you care to guess how many callers turned down the chance to call for cheating robbing dirty rotten stealing scumbag lying name-smearing swindlers?

Go ahead and try to guess how many callers refused to accept stolen funds. Remember, every caller the club ever booked knew ... in advance ... that they would get paid with stolen robbery loot.

Did you try to guess how many honest callers are at-large among us? Please take the time to think it through and make your guess. How many callers just will not help rob a colleague? Go ahead and guess right now, because you are about to discover how many honest callers can be found in the local region.

Okay, here's the answer you've been waiting for:

NOT ONE BLASTED CALLER refused to accept stolen money!

EVERY last LOWDOWN caller who EVER called for the lying cheating robbers KNOWINGLY accepted ROBBERY LOOT.

EVERY caller for the stolen club is a SORRY CHEATER-helping SWINDLER-abetting money-GRABBING unethical STEALING RATFINK who KNOWINGLY CHEATS their colleagues and ROBS the square dance activity blind.

EVERY caller who EVER called for the crooks UNJUSTLY PROFITED by GRABBING STOLEN ROBBERY LOOT offered by SWINDLERS who, in an UNPROVOKED and UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK, CHEATED good honest hard-working people out of THOUSANDS of dollars and YEARS of hard work.

EVERY STINKIN' CALLER eagerly grabbed as much loot as possible, as OFTEN as they could. Many of them CAME BACK for a SECOND or THIRD helping of loot! Today they STILL grab whatever's left of the robbery loot, as often as they can!

Callers totally LACKING in morals KNOWINGLY accept robbery loot from CROOKS and gladly help SMEAR the good name of their crime victims. Many of these lowlife backstabbing callers are actually AMUSED because one of THEIR OWN COLLEAGUES was robbed, swindled and cheated.

Frankly, I am embarrassed to be labeled as a "caller" because it unfairly lumps me in with so many lowlife robbing stealing double-crossing back-stabbing immoral scumbags. I am shocked beyond belief that every caller who had the chance to Do The Right Thing actually turned the other way and ignored all common decency. I am flabbergasted that any caller would gladly help cheating lying swindling defaming slandering proven crooks who dangle stolen robbery loot as an apparently irresistible lure.

To be fair, some callers avoided the crime scene. Perhaps they were never offered a share of the loot. The good guys (or perhaps the ones who don't call well enough to get offered any stolen money) are surely in short supply. Still, a surprising number of callers (actually, any number greater than zero is surprising) is totally willing to help rob and cheat and swindle one of their own. These immoral callers continue to cheat, rob, loot, swindle and profiteer even to this day.

Make good note of the callers who gladly participate in robbery and scandal. Just so there's no doubt, I shall publish a complete list of crime-enablers soon, on this website, for your handy and permanent reference.

If you ever want to plan your own robbery, you'll know exactly who to contact. Get someone with experience. Just look at the past, present and future callers at the stolen club. They all knowingly participated in robbery. Those are the callers you'll want to contact should you ever need help to pull off your own cheating swindling cut-throat robbery. Just be careful. The caller you get to help you rob someone else just might gladly rob and swindle and cheat and back-stab you.
