What Did You learn?

Think back to when you were in school.  You probably took classes like reading, writing, math and science. Here's the question:  did you learn the skills you need to get ahead in life?
   
Answer:  probably not.  Consider, for example, the wacky world of square dance clubs.  Look at the people who get ahead in that arena.  Look at the skills they used to get there.
 
In the case of FunDancers, they used skills such as lying, stealing, cheating, swindling, name-smearing, back-stabbing and just downright total rottenness. Those are the skills we should teach in school.  Those are the skills which allow crooks, swindlers, slanderers and deadbeats such as Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Darryl Lipscomb, Sam Bloom, Jerry Story, Arthur Wills, Ted Zahorski, Tim Marriner, Tony Oxendine, Nancy Zahorski, Mike Sikorsky, FunDancers and Johnny Preston to get ahead in life.
 
That same skill-set allows two-faced, false-friend back-stabbers such as Billy Grimsley, Dan Nordbye, Tom Roper, Wade Driver, K O Jeanes, Wayne Weston, Gary Sanders, Bill Wright, Brad Caldwell, Arnold Gladson and Les Hughes to profit handsomely from the robbery of innocent people.
 
So, if you ever want to teach a promising youngster how to get ahead in life, teach the skills they really need.  Teach treachery, lying and just bald-face outright robbing innocent people.  That's how FunDancers got to where they are today, so apparently that's what it takes to get ahead in life.
 
Or ... here's an alternative ... you can steer clear of wrongdoing.  You can choose events which are good, correct, true, honest and wholesome.  You can avoid events staged by lying, swindling, cheating, stealing hucksters.  Choose a decent, moral event instead.

Checklist

Do you have a checklist of things to do each day or week?  Let's talk about your checklist.  Surely items are on your list because they need to be done.  Surely you try to improve the world by using your checklist.

  

Ditto and likewise.  One of the items on MY checklist, to do every Sunday, is 'help stamp out robberies'.  Here's the deal:  dirty rotten cheating robbers bald-face stole a square dance club from a hard-working honest couple.  They smeared and slandered that couple's good name, and got clean away with robbery in broad daylight.

  

That robbery is just totally wrong.  It was wrong when it happened, it's been wrong ever since, and it will continue to be wrong until corrected.

 

So, every Sunday is "Attempt To Correct" day.  It's on the checklist, so let's get 'er done.  Let's start at the beginning.  It began with robbery, so let's start there.  Do you support theft and cheating and swindling and robbery?  If so, then shame on you.  You seriously need to stop supporting robbers.  You need to stop supporting FunDancers.  That club exists today for just one reason only:  someone bald-face stole it.  If you helped the robbers get clean away with the crime, then you did the wrong thing.  You're a dirty rotten individual.  Stop helping robbers.  That's it.
 

But what if you do not support robbery?  What if you do the right thing instead (by choosing a good honest event instead of a cheated stolen swindled one)?  If so, goody for you.  When you choose a good honest event, you're doing what's right.  Now all you need to do is encourage others to also do what's right.
 

Sunday is 'Anti-Robbery' day.  Do something today to make sure that bald-face swindling robbers don't get away with their crime.  Stop supporting robbery, encourage others to stop supporting robbery, then check it off your list.

Shortcut to Success

It takes takes years of time and thousands of dollars to build a successful square dance club. 
    
Or you can find a shortcut, like FunDancers did.  Let someone else spend years of time and thousands of dollars to build a club.  Wait patiently.  The very minute the club turns profitable, swoop in and outright bald-face steal the club from the hard-working people who built it.
     
Such a sick and twisted strategy only works if you can find immoral callers who knowingly accept robbery loot to call for crooks.  It only works if you can find two-faced double-crossing dancers who knowingly reward robbers and cheats.  In other words, outright bald-face stealing a square dance club in broad daylight only works in San Antonio, Texas.
   
If you helped the dirty rotten scoundrels at FunDancers get clean away with the crimes of outright swindling and robbery, shame on you!  San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the USA yet the local square dance scene is almost completely dead.  Square dancing died out locally because you completely lack morals and integrity.

  
Square dancing is an activity for good honest people.  The local square dancers do not meet that qualification. You're simply not good people.  Indeed, you're crummy rotten people who don't know the basic difference between right and wrong.  Your downright rottenness has almost completely killed square dancing in the USA's 7th largest city. Shame on you.
 

Here's some good news.  You still have the option to do the right thing.  All you have to do is avoid the crime scene at FunDancers.  Stop rewarding crime.  Find a good honest dance instead.

Five Ingredients

To outright bald-face steal a square dance club, you need five key ingredients:

1. A club worth stealing. Most clubs nowadays are so small and piddly that it's not worth the bother to steal them. So ... find yourself a strong club into which someone invested thousands of dollars. Wait until it grows into the biggest club in town, then steal it. Go big or go home. Since you're gonna rob someone anyway, make it worth your while.


2. A club owner who goes out of town. Learn how it's done, from the experienced swindlers at FunDancers. It's much easier to rob someone while they're away.


3. Callers willing to accept robbery loot to call for cheating lying swindling deadbeats who robbed one of their so-called "colleagues". Square dancing is "friendship set to music" ... as long as the definition of "friendship" is "I'm your friend, I'm always there, and whenever someone robs you, I'll be there to grab as much loot as I can".


4. Dancers willing to endorse and participate in your criminal illusion that you "improved square dancing" by cheating a hardworking innocent couple out of their life's work. Here's a helpful hint, if you really want to improve square dancing: next time, target a victim who will take a robbin' silently. It's much easier to get away with robbery when your crime victim is silent. Too bad you didn't know that in advance.


5. Gossips and name-smearers who love to start and spread rumors. Just be careful. If you enjoy the company of gossips and rumor-mongers, chances are good that you might become the target of their next smear campaign. Not "if ... " but "when ... " it happens, look on the bright side: you probably deserve it.

So there you have it: the five key ingredients for any square dance robbery. Luckily for you, all five key ingredients are in abundance at FunDancers in Schertz. If you enjoy participating in robbery, swindling, cheating and total sheer utter wrongness, look no further. You found all those rotten things, and more, at FunDancers in Schertz.

What is a Square Dance Caller?

In 2004 I set up a website for the entire Rio Grande Valley of Texas.  It cost me hundreds of hours in time and hundreds of dollars of my own money to get the site up and running.  The site was set up as a public service for the square dance community. When I left that region in 2009, I outright gave the website to the couple who will call tomorrow at FunDancers.
 
In early 2012, I enhanced the website so that it can make money by selling ads. This took hundreds of additional hours of time. After I set up the ad program, I showed them exactly how to go out and sell ads. I personally loaded all the ads into the system and showed them how to mail out invoices and get paid.

We agreed to split the income.  Actually, a 50-50 split right down the middle would have been a totally fair deal.  However they negotiated me down to only a 20% share (because I had a real job and they didn't).

So, let's recap.  I came up with the idea.  I set up the website. I put in hundreds of hours of time, absolutely free, and hundreds of dollars of my own money just to get the site running. I set up the advertising program. I showed them exactly how to make it all work. 

They are to get 80% while I only get 20%.  This surely sounds like an extremely generous deal (for them).

Whenever you talk about how square dancing is "friendship", what do you think the word "friendship" means? Perhaps it means "friends" will do all the work and then just outright give someone a money-making website in exchange for only 20% of the action.  Yep, square dancing is all about "friendship", especially when you have "friends" you can use.

Anyway, we made a deal.  They get 80 percent, I get 20.

Except ... they paid me exactly one time ... the very first month the program was running. They never paid a dime after that.  Interestingly, that same month (April 2012) was when Ed Wedig and the Wheatleys brutally, senselessly and criminally robbed, swindled, cheated and smeared me and my innocent spouse out of the square dance business which took us a lifetime to build.

Fast forward to today.  Today, ads still run on the Rio Grande Valley website which I built.  Ad money still rolls in every month.  I still came up with the idea, did all the work, financed the project out of my own pocket, set up everything and showed them how to use it. Everything today is going exactly to plan  ... except  ... I've been cheated out of my share of the deal for over two years now.

Do the math.  Tomorrow's caller has outright cheated me out of nearly $3000. That's in addition to approximately $35,000 which I was directly and/or indirectly swindled out of by Ed Wedig and the Wheatleys when they outright strong-arm robbed me and my wife.

So, let's recap.  What kind of person would cheat a "friend" out of thousands of dollars? Well, that's the kind of person who calls square dances today and/or is a leader in such a "friendly" activity.

To be fair, it's not an isolated problem.  Almost all "prominent" square dance callers today are lying, cheating, back-stabbing, money-grabbing, swindling, robbing, immoral, duty-shirking bill-dodgers.  Let's be honest. Square dancing is way down.  Square dance callers nowadays, if they want to survive, must lie and cheat and swindle ... just to get by.  It's almost impossible to start a new square dance club.  A much better way is to wait until someone else starts a club and then steal it from them.

So whenever you talk about how square dancing is "friendship", just remember that if you are willing to do all the work and put up all the time and money only to get cheated out of all that you built, then you can be a true loyal "friend" to a square dance leader.  But if you are not willing to silently tolerate being a crime victim, then suddenly you're labeled as "crazy" or "unfriendly", etc.

If it's "crazy" to speak out against robbery and cheating, then so be it. Your personal opinion of someone's mental health does not change the unalterable fact that it's just flat wrong to rob, swindle and cheat other people.  Additionally, this same person who rooked me out of my share of advertising revenue (by pocketing the entire amount instead of paying the agreed-upon split) has come in to Schertz many times and helped himself to robbery loot.  When my club and my money and my business was outright bald-face stolen from me, this same "friend" has profited handsomely.  He comes in and scoops up fistfuls of robbery loot, as much and as often as he can, quickly, before it all runs out.

That's what it takes, nowadays, to be a successful square dance caller.  You must be willing to rob and cheat others if you want to survive.  You must totally steep yourself in absolute no-good rottenness.

On Sunday you can dance to a deadbeat who robs his friends, doesn't honor his agreements and cheats his colleagues.  You can dance at a club which was strong-arm bald-face stolen and swindled by deadbeat robbers, name-smearers and cheaters.  You can reward dastardly immoral people who prosper from horrible illegal activities. 

If you dance at Fundancers, you send a message that it's perfectly okay to rob, swindle, cheat and steal. Is that the message you really want to send?

Or ... you can choose do to the right thing instead.  You can avoid robbers.  You can find a good wholesome activity to do.  It really isn't hard to find some other activity which does not require you to reward robbing cheating swindling scumbags.  It's your choice.  You can endorse and validate criminal robbing cheating bandits.  Or you can do the right thing by avoiding wrongdoing.  Which choice will you make, and what message does it send?

It's April

News Flash!  FunDancers finally reached agreement with their club caller, organizer, planner, founder and instructor. The club now has their original club caller back, under these conditions:

• Club caller must be paid far less than any other caller.
• If club caller / founder / builder is out of town, club will spend three to six times as much money to get a substitute caller.  Club caller has no say in who they hire, nor in how much they pay.  The only guarantee is that the substitute caller gets far more money than club caller gets.
• Club caller will pay thousands of dollars in club expenses out of his own pocket, never to be reimbursed.
• If the club officers commit another crime, and if the club caller speaks out against that crime, then the club will expertly use their massive powers of swindling, lying, slander and con-artistry to smear club caller's good name which took decades to build.

Good news!  The new deal starts immediately.  The club gets a top-notch caller at a bargain price. If he can't be there, a local caller gets paid far more money to fill in. Club caller invests thousands of his own dollars into building up the club.  When the club commits another outright crime and if the club caller once again speaks out against crime, the club gets to slander and smear the caller / founder / organizer / investor (and his innocent spouse) completely out of business.

Oh yes, one more thing.  Check your calendar and please notice one tiny detail.   A P R I L   F O O L S

Yep, APRIL FOOLS, you rotten sorry crime-enabling immoral degenerates.  If you think I'll ever call for any sorry ratfink back-stabbing swindling cheaters ever again, you need to wake up from your dream.

Still, please notice that the proposed deal closely matches what the club actually had, before they crapped in their own nest. They had a willing, hard-working, talented caller couple who built the club from the ground up.  In appreciation, the club robbed and cheated and swindled and slandered and lied about and smeared and de-friended and back-stabbed that couple to the extreme. When the caller spoke out against crime, he lost every last one of his (as it ends up, totally fake) "friends". 
 
Meanwhile, the immoral scumbags who cheated and robbed and swindled and lied and smeared ... go figure .... they're prospering.  And you helped them do it.  You're a sorry excuse for humanity!  You clearly illustrate the important life-lesson that crime really does pay.
 
Here's the part I can't figure out.  You had ample opportunity to do the right thing (i.e. send a clear message that crime does NOT pay).  You chose to do exactly the wrong thing instead.  You chose to swoop into a crime scene and grab at the robbery loot with both fists, quickly, before someone else gets it all. Wow, what a rotten lowdown crummy thing to do to your so-called 'friend'.  Let's admit it.  In square dancing, "friendship" lasts only until the robbing, cheating and slander begin.

Dirty rotten scoundrel lying cheaters just bald-face outright stole a square dance club right in front of your eyes, and you know they stole it, and you helped them do it.    You helped lying robbers cheat an innocent couple out of years of hard work.  You watched a hard-working talented couple lose their entire lifelong investment in square dancing.  You watched expert swindlers turn every last fake friend against their crime victim.  You witnessed total worthless lowlifes get clean away with crime as they prospered from outright robbery, cheating, lying and swindling.  You watched expert cheaters and swindlers rip off an innocent couple, motivated by the simple fact that master con-artists need an occasional innocent victim in order to keep their swindling skills polished.

Why on earth did you do it? What on earth is wrong with you?  Why can't you recognize a robbery when you see one?  Surely your mother taught you the difference between right and wrong.  What is just so compelling about crime that you just have to chose it over doing what's right?  How can you justify helping crooks spend robbery loot, when you know the loot was stolen?  Why can't you find a good decent event to support instead?  What's so intriguing about crime scenes that you're just forced to participate and to help crooks prosper?
 
If you ever find yourself wondering, "What's wrong with Square Dancing Today?", the answer is simple.  Just look in the mirror.  You support crime.  You profit from the robbery of so-called "friends".  (In square dancing, "Friend" means "someone who pays the bills so that no one asks YOU to pay your share".)  When you were offered a clear choice between right and wrong, you went out of your way to chose wrong.  When you heard damaging gossip, you immediately jumped all over it.  You're just lower than low.  The square dance activity is in such bad shape today because it has followed your lead.

I got cheated out of money, time, labor, friends, etc.  But at least I kept my good sense.  But you got cheated most of all, because you allowed expert con-artists and swindlers to alter your own perception.  You simply cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.  Yes, it's April Fools ... and you are the fool.

Help the Children

A little kid approached his mommy. He asked, "Mommy, are there any square dancers in our family? Are we in any way related to FunDancers?".

The kid's mommy replied, "I never really thought about it. Why do you ask about your relatives?".

The kid explained, "Well, someone offered to build me a top-notch website at his cost. If I'm related to square dancers then I'll offer an amount which is below cost. But if I'm related to FunDancers then I'll just bald-face steal the work instead".

So ... go ahead and ask yourself a question. Do you honor, reward and celebrate the vile acts of cheating, stealing, theft and robbery? If the answer is "no" (as it should be) then you have one very simple task on your agenda. Simply avoid events staged by robbers.

When you make the right choices, you help improve the world and you'll feel better too. Start improving the world today by avoiding organizations and people who rob, cheat, swindle and defraud.

Shortcut to Prosperity

Most square dance clubs nowadays have already folded. The few remaining clubs are sorry pathetic dying dysfunctional groups, barely hanging on by a thread. Square dancing is slowly but surely fading away.

There is little hope for the future because it is so extremely difficult to start and build a new club. Such an endeavor requires thousands of dollars and years of hard work. Let's be honest. Do you actually HAVE thousands of dollars and years of hard work that you can afford to invest into a crummy square dance club?

Good news! There's a recently-discovered shortcut! You can do exactly what FunDancers did. You can dupe someone ELSE into building up a nice club. Wait patiently while your victim invests thousands of his own dollars and years of his own time. Then, just as soon as the fledgling venture becomes profitable, swoop right in and bald-face steal the club in broad daylight. Then you can lie your pants off and smear the good name of your crime victims so that they can't start another club to compete with the one you outright stole.

Or, you can do the RIGHT thing instead. The RIGHT thing is to AVOID lying criminal defamatory cheating swindling crooks who rob and bilk their supposed "friends". You can REFUSE to REWARD robbery. You can STOP SUPPORTING THEFT and CRIME. You can find a good wholesome club to visit instead of a crummy rotten stolen swindled group of cheaters.

Do you endorse the idea of building up square dancing through theft? Do you believe in cheating and swindling your way to prosperity? Are you in favor of running up a huge debt and then defaulting on every penny that you rightfully owe? If so, you are a truly sick sorry screwed-up individual. Don't settle for being all screwed up and sorry and pathetic. It's not too late for you to turn over a new leaf. Stop supporting robbers. Just Say No to Crime. Do the right thing instead.

Old-Fashioned vs. New-Fangled

The old-fashioned path to success: invest lots of time and money to build a square dance group. After you invest thousands of your dollars and years of your time, you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your own labor.

But that's so old-fashioned.

The new-fangled way, and the way chosen by FunDancers, it to dupe someone else into building up a nice club for you. Be patient!  After the fledgling enterprise grows and eventually becomes self-sufficient, then you can swoop in and steal the club.

If your crime victim gripes about being robbed, plan and carry out a smear campaign.

You'll have to admit that the above strategy is ... successful.

The lowdown cheating swindling scumbags who stole FunDancers get to enjoy a nice square dance every week in their own hometown. They did not invest all the time or money required to build up a club. Instead, they waited until someone else made that investment. Then they outright stole the results of someone else's work.

The old-fashioned way is to build. The new-fangled way is to steal. The old-fashioned process involves paying your bills. The new-fangled way is to run up a huge debt and then default on that debt. Instead of paying what you rightfully owe, wait until your victim goes out of town, steal every last cent you can, then use the loot to hire accomplices. If anyone protests, paint them as a lunatic.

Don't laugh. The strategy does seem to work.

So ... if you want to validate and reward people who cheat, swindle, lie and rob, then you'll want to dance at FunDancers. But if you cannot support the ideals of theft, double-crossing, defamation, and robbery loot, then you will want to choose a different venue instead.

You might be wondering about my purpose. First, I do not want my club back. It's too late for that. While it would be nice to get reimbursed for at least some of the many thousands of dollars which were outright stolen from me, that's only a side issue. The main thing is that we must stop rewarding crooks and robbers. In a proper world, theft and swindling should not lead to prosperity. FunDancers must be shut down, strictly because it is so horribly wrong for bad people to profit from robbing good people.

With so many good honest dances in the region, why on Earth would you patronize a dishonest swindling cheating stolen club who doesn't pay their bills?

Local Square Dance Group Needs Your Help

Months ago, a local square dance club installed incompetent immoral officers who robbed the club's founder / originator / investor of many thousands of dollars. The crooks used the loot to run the club.

When the crime victim protested, the rotten defamatory swindlers spread all kinds of lies. For example, they claimed that no robbery ever took place and/or the victim deserved to get robbed and/or the money they outright stole was actually a gift. Their alibis prove the ancient theory: "there is no honor among thieves".

If you helped the crooks get away with robbery then you are a party to one of the biggest crimes in square dance history. Yet the sad truth is that the stolen funds have finally petered out. The club recently had to make a "slight" adjustment by hiking their admission price by a whopping SIXTY PERCENT.

When's the last time you had a sixty percent raise? We're talking "desperation". The club operated a good long while on stolen funds but that loot has simply dried up. Now the club needs to steal more money, in a bad way.

Here's where you can help. All the club really needs is a new crime victim. If you will simply let expert con-artists rob and cheat you out of thousands of dollars (the same way they robbed me) then the stolen club can continue to operate on robbery loot in the future (just like they've done in the past).

One tiny word of warning. If you get cheated and robbed by immoral crooks, don't even CONSIDER protesting to the square dance "friends" that you THINK you have. You will learn that the "rock-solid" friendships which you THINK you built are actually as fake and as flimsy as a puff of smoke. After you become a crime victim, you will LOSE EVERY LAST BLASTED FRIEND you THOUGHT YOU EVER HAD. Your fake friends will gleefully swoop in and help the robbers spend all the loot stolen from you.

Of course you could always choose to do the right thing instead. You could go to an honest dance instead. You could refuse to reward robbery, crime, cheating, swindling and theft. But most people will not stand up for what's right. They don't have enough backbone. It's far easier to go along with the crowd and grab at the stolen loot before someone else grabs your share.

There's only one drawback to that philosophy: stolen robbery loot eventually runs out. So, step right up and become the next chump. The previous robbery loot is almost depleted, the ticket price has been "slightly" adjusted by a whopping 60 percent, and the club desperately needs another robbery victim. Who will it be? Could it be you?

I've already had my turn. Now it's your turn to get robbed. If you ever helped the cheating swindling scumbags spend any robbery loot, I very sincerely hope that you get what you richly deserve by becoming the next crime victim.

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

You already know the story. Cheating swindling crooks rob innocent couple then use the loot to entice immoral backstabbing lowlifes to share in the robbery proceeds. Dirty underhanded crafty smear-tactics are endorsed by ignorant masses who have no clue about the difference between right and wrong.

You have the opportunity to do the one and only "right" thing here. You have the oppotunity to avoid a crime scene and to stop rewarding cheating swindling robbing crooks. Although many people have that golden opportunity, some do not have enough backbone to do the right thing.

So, enjoy wallowing in wrongdoing. I hope each of you gets robbed and I also hope you discover that your long-term "friendships" vaporize into thin air the very minute that you become a crime victim.

Quick question: whenever you get robbed, cheated, swindled, smeared, etc ... will you be completely gracious and accepting? Or do you instead expect victims to remain silent (as long as the crime happens to someone else) (and you get to profit from the crime)?

What goes around, comes around. Go ahead (while you still can) and enjoy participating in robbery, name-smearing, cheating, swindling, stealing, looting, etc ... because it won't last forever. Help the robbers spend the loot today, but watch out for tomorrow. Swindlers and cheaters are always looking for other people to rip off. Maybe you can become their next crime victim. Wouldn't that be grand?

Crime Spree Continues

Two-year-long crime spree continues this weekend. Ruthless robbers use stolen loot to finance a square dance for cheating swindling lying defamatory turncoat slanderous gangsters who outright bald-face robbed a local square dance couple.

If you enjoy such criminal activities than you'll have a ball. If you just cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, then you've finally found a place where you'll fit right in.

If you just stood by idly and watched the crime unfold then you are as guilty as the thugs who perpetrated the theft. If you support outrageous wrongdoing, then go ahead and socialize with other lowlifes just like yourself.

Or ... you can do the Right Thing instead, and refuse to reward people who lie, cheat, swindle and steal.

Karma is a real bitch. The dirty rotten lowdown immoral scoundrels will burn in hell forever for robbing innocent people, and all they got out of the deal was a lousy square dance club populated by encouragers of robbing and looting.

How does it feel?

Perhaps you dance several times a month. Some dances you go to are legitimate, straight-up and wholesome. Alas, some dances in your local area are run by robbing, stealing, lying, cheating swindlers who use stolen robbery loot to hold dances for folks who endorse crime and theft.

How does it feel to you? Can you detect any difference between "right" and "wrong"? If a dance is paid for with stolen robbery loot, at a club which was outright swindled away from the very people who built the club, by robbers who cheat, swindle, defame and defraud your former "friends" ... does that feel any different (to you) than a regular ordinary good square dance?

This is an important question. Your answer is important.

It's such a disgrace when people (perhaps even you) choose "wrong" over "right". Yet the very true fact is that some people (perhaps even you) cannot detect any difference at all between right and wrong.

Does this describe YOU? Does a legitimate rightful dance feel any different, to you, than a stolen swindled cheated event?

If you want to do what's right, first you must be able to discern the fundamental difference between "right" and "wrong". So ... can you tell the difference? When you participate in an event which only exists as a result of robbery, theft, crime, swindling, defamation, back-stabbing and/or cheating, does it feel any different to YOU than other square dances?

You can be assured that there is a very real difference between "right" and "wrong". The only question is, can you feel the difference? No matter how slight that difference might be, do you know right from wrong?

And if you DO know the difference between right and wrong, why on earth would you support wrongdoing?

Let's all start paying attention to the fact that "right" feels different from "wrong". Let's support good honest right events and let's steer clear of cheating lying swindling stolen wrong robbery events. Let's make the world a better place by choosing "right" over "wrong". Is that too much to ask?

Do the Right Thing

Lowdown bandits outright stole the FunDancers club from the very people who started, built, promoted and grew the club.

Now they invite you to come help spend the robbery loot. Are you really stupid enough to believe their lies? Are you really so desperate for entertainment that you'll patronize a club which you dang well know  was outright stolen and swindled from the people who built the club? Do you think that ignoring a problem makes it go away? Are you really that naive?

Here's an alternative. Don't support robbery and theft! Instead, urge the lying cheating swindling crooks to return the money they stole. Even if they do give back the thousands of dollars they outright stole (which will never happen, but even if the thieves do make restitution) it still will not set things completely right. But returning the stolen loot will definitely improve a terrible situation.

Don't participate in crime. Don't help robbers spend loot. Don't let cheating lying swindlers get away with theft scot-free.

Do the right thing instead. Without a doubt, you know the difference between right and wrong. The only question is whether you have enough gumption to do the right thing. Avoid cheating lying swindling robbers who steal from honest hard-working people. Find a good wholesome dance to go to instead.

I Was Wrong

Back when I first realized that swindlers had stolen the square dance club which my spouse and I organized, founded, promoted, built and grew, I was NOT alarmed. I thought, "Surely the robbers cannot attract any people because surely the nice upstanding dance community will never tolerate dishonesty or theft.". I just _knew_ that square dancers were good honest people. 

Boy oh boy, I was clearly WRONG! 

I TOTALLY over-estimated the honesty and integrity of the square dance community.

The local dance community blindly supported the lying cheating swindling stealing robbers. The dancers believed filthy raunchy vicious lying rumors which were started and spread by the people who robbed me. The idea of checking with me first (to find out if the rumors were true) never occurred to anyone. Dancers gossiped with wild abandon. In addition to being a robbery victim, I became the target of a defamation campaign and an outcast in my own home town.

When I refused to silently suffer as a victim of robbery and lynching, the crooks who robbed me set up a website to smear my name.  The dirty rotten lying stealing cheating swindlers tried their dead-level best to put me completely out of business worldwide. 

Think about it:  how often do you see a website whose _only_ purpose is to smear an internationally-known square dance caller and try to run him completely out of business?  The answer is "never".  You NEVER see this because there are certain lowdown atrocious acts which are so vile and despicable that people simply NEVER do those criminal acts.

How would you like it if someone robbed YOU and then set up a website to smear YOUR name?

Yet in fact the rotten crummy swindling robbing cheating scumbags who stole my club (and cheated me out of thousands of dollars) did indeed set up a smear-site for the sole purpose of defamation.

The lying cheating rotten crooks went to my own website and found my schedule of future calling dates. They contacted every last one of my future bookings and tried to cancel those engagements. They told outright lies such as "he won't show up" or "he quit calling" or "he's deathly ill and cannot contact you himself". They did these vile despicable unspeakable horrific acts strictly to cause my wife and me financial harm, and specifically because of one fact:  when cheaters and swindlers stole my club and thousands of dollars from me, I refused to take the robbing silently.

Such criminal acts of defamation and harassment are absolutely horrible and totally unprecedented in the square dance world.

Yet, even then, I was not overly worried. I just KNEW that the nice upstanding dance community would observe the crummy evil dirty nasty smear tactics of the cheating lying swindlers and that the dancers would realize that those crimes are just TOTALLY WRONG and unheard of. I fully trusted that the good people in the dance community would steer clear of the evil name-smearing gossipy lying rumor-mongering cheating stealing slanderers and defamers.

Well, guess what?  I was totally WRONG again.

I mistakenly thought that local square dancers were good honest people.  I would have never guessed that people who purport to be "friends" would actually side with cheaters, swindlers, robbers, liars and crooks. I was so totally utterly wrong.

To be fair, the vast majority of my so-called "friends" completely DROPPED OUT of square dancing forever due to the vicious criminal acts of a small band of dirty lowdown cheating robbers. Yet a surprising number (actually, any number greater than "zero" is a surprising number) of so-called "friends" turned completely and permanently against me and my spouse after we were the victims of an unprovoked and unjustified robbery committed by cold calculating experienced swindlers and cheaters.

NOT ONE "friend" stood up to say "HEY, this is ROBBERY and it's just SO WRONG!"  NOT ONE local dancer has ANY morals whatsoever.  As far as I can tell, they ALL support and endorse (or at least tolerate) crime and theft. They continue to participate in the stolen club and profit from the robbery, despite repeated pleadings from the crime victims to please STOP supporting robbery, cheating, lying, theft, slander, crime, etc.

Having lost all faith in the goodness and integrity of the local dance population, all I can say is ... SHAME ON YOU. 

SHAME ON YOU!

Your mother taught you better than that, you immoral CHEATING swindler-supporting LIAR-ENABLING back-stabbing FALSE-FRIEND flat-wrong TWO-FACED loot-spending TURN-COAT money-grubbing IGNORANT easily-misled RAUNCHY confused INDECENT vile DESPICABLE unethical DEFAMATORY vicious LOW-DOWN dirty ROTTEN untrustworthy GOSSIPS.

I can only hope that every last crime-supporting false-friend loot-spender gets robbed and cheated and swindled and lied to and gossiped about and taunted and shamed and defrauded and slandered ... and then I hope that all of your fake two-faced "friends" laugh hysterically at your plight. Then you'll finally understand what you have done. 

Your total lack of morals and your enthusiastic support for cheating swindling robbers has damaged square dancing in the local area beyond repair.  The region will NEVER recover from the disastrous fact that YOU fully supported theft and robbery. 

For all practical purposes, the very minute that you decided to support swindling cheating gossiping lying robbers, you signed a death certificate for square dancing.  You had the opportunity to do the right thing, and as far as I can tell, you just flat let that opportunity pass you by.

Yep, I was totally wrong.  I mistakenly believed there was at least one grain of decency in the local dance community.  I never dreamed that square dancers would enthusiastically help crooks rob honest hard-working people. I totally under-estimated the lack of morals, the power of gossip, the delight of joining a lynch mob and the lure of spending robbery loot.

People need to admit when they are wrong.

I admit it.  I was completely wrong.  I mistakenly believed that square dancers were much better people than they actually are.

It's Your Turn

This weekend (just like every weekend) the stolen club in Schertz uses stolen robbery loot to hire a caller who is willing to accept stolen cash to call at a stolen club for people who robbed, cheated, swindled, bilked, hoodwinked, slandered, defamed and committed crimes which originated with secret meetings held while the club originators, organizers and founders were out of town.
  
If you enjoy supporting outright theft and crime, come be with other people just like you, i.e. people who profit from crime and who support theft, dishonesty, cheating and swindling.

  
While you're at at, please start looking for a new crime victim.  It's important.  Although the dirty rotten lowdown robbers did manage to steal several thousand dollars from Nasser and Jeanna, those stolen funds can't last forever.  You desperately need to trick, hoodwink, deceive, bilk, swindle, and rob a new gullible victim so that the long string of loot-enabled dances can continue.

Here's a thought.  What if the next victim is YOU?  Wouldn't that be great?  After all, if you enthusiastically support Ed Wedig and Ken & Fay Wheatley rampantly cheating Nasser and Jeanna out of thousands of dollars, hundreds of friends, dozens of calling dates, years of hard work, etc., then SURELY you can support a similar robbery / swindling / slander-fest / cheating happening to YOU, right?  Wow, what a great idea!
  
So, get busy!  Start building up your OWN club.  Invest thousands of dollars and years of work into your OWN group.  Build it up to the point where it finally starts to pay off after years of your hard work and thousands of your own dollars.  You'll have the biggest club in the region.  Enjoy it for a few weeks, then watch as ruthless dishonest crooked swindling lying robbers steal it away from you and smear your name into the mud.
 
THEN, you can laugh at your OWN plight ... just like you're amused today because someone ELSE was robbed.

Just think ... you can try to convince your former "friends" to stop supporting crime, only to be rebuked at every attempt.  Yes, a taste of your own medicine will do you a lot of good, you ROTTEN ROBBERY-SUPPORTING CRIME-ABETTING CROOK-HELPING SLANDEROUS DEFAMATORY SWINDLER-ENABLING TWO-FACED IMMORAL INDECENT VILE DESPICABLE JERKS.

 
But that's all comes later (AFTER you invest thousands of dollars and years of hard work into your own group, only to have it stolen by swindling lying cheating robbers).  Let's talk about the HERE and NOW.  THIS weekend, go ahead and enjoy the use of stolen robbery loot to pay a caller four times what they were paying the club's founder, to call for one-fourth the crowd. While you're at it, discuss various ways to build up square dancing.  Yes indeed, it's the eternal question, "How can we make square dancing grow?".  Well, for starters, STOP CHEATING AND ROBBING THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE THE CLUBS.

Just remember:  it's YOUR turn to get robbed and cheated next.  So, start investing.  The sooner you put thousands of dollars and years of hard work into your club, the sooner the robbing lying cheating swindlers can take it away from you, smear your name into the mud, and amuse all your former "friends".

Holiday Notice

Due to a religious holiday, the local crime ring is inactive this week. But don't worry.  Next Sunday they go right back to cheatin', lyin', gossipin', stealin', name-smearin', robbin', swindlin' and lootin'.
 
Let's face facts. Crooks and robbers have infested the square dance activity. It's much worse than "we've got a problem". It is probably THE single biggest theft (approx. $8500) in the _entire_ history of square dancing. And __YOU__ endorse the "Biggest Crime in Square Dance History" if _you_ continue to support events financed with stolen funds and run by cheating thieving lying swindlers.

Do you have enough backbone to do the right thing? For almost a full year, I have urged you to avoid dishonest events.  It's time to ask yourself a question.  Have you even _tried_ to do that ONE right thing which actually addresses the problem? Have you stayed away from the liars, robbers, cheaters, swindlers and gossips?

If so, congratulations! If not, there's still time.  You can still help straighten out this mess.  Here's the one and only thing you must do: Find a dance which does NOT involve stolen funds, cheaters, swindlers, gossips, robbers, liars, etc. Then go to that honest dance instead of a lying, cheating, swindling, stolen, defamatory, fraudulent event.
 
Help put the bad guys out of business. Don't let robbers, cheaters, swindlers, liars and defamers get clean away with their crimes. Stop supporting robbery.  Don't condone the biggest theft in square dance history.  Put an end to crime. 

Find a good clean event at an honest club instead.

Make the right choice

Something to do in your spare time:

1. Go to the police station and wait until someone comes in and reports being robbed.
2. Make fun of that person.  Call him a liar.  Call him nasty names. 
3. Demand that the crime victim never contact you again.  Cancel all future business dealings with the person who got robbed.  Threaten to beat him up.
4. Tell everyone that the robbed person is crazy and therefore deserves to be cheated and swindled.  Drag that person's name through the mud.  Call him a liar again.  Threaten to have him arrested.
5. Make friends with the robbers.  Help the crooks spend the loot.
6. Repeat every Sunday.

If you go to FunDancers in Schertz, you're helping robbers get ahead by cheating and swindling.

You're supposedly a grownup.  Why do you need constant reminders that it's wrong to steal, lie and cheat?
 
So ... stop doing wrong!  Do the right thing instead!  Do NOT support square dance clubs which rob, cheat, steal, swindle, bilk, hoodwink, defame or defraud people.  Is that too much to ask?  Do NOT help robbers spend any loot.

You only have a limited amount of spare time.  Choose honest activities.  You'll be happier.

Remove me from your list

This Sunday a local square dance club once again uses loot from a robbery to hire callers who knowingly accept stolen funds.

Come celebrate all the rotten things about square dancing: swindling, robbing, cheating, stealing and lying while petty crooks smear the good name of their robbery victim.

Some of you have requested "remove me from your email list". 

Your request is certainly heard and understood, yet you are terribly misinformed. This message is aimed exclusively at robbers and cheaters ... and the people who support them (like, for example, YOU). You receive this message for ONE reason only: it is believed that YOU support and participate in criminal activities. By the way, whenever you endorse atrocious acts, you cause permanent harm to square dancing.

If you want to stop receiving these messages, you must do exactly one thing.  Stop supporting crime! If you can prove that you no longer support the robbers, cheaters, swindlers, defamers, etc, then your name will be cheerfully removed from the list.

So, indeed, you cannot ask someone else to remove your name from this list.  Instead, you can very easily remove your OWN name from this list by submitting evidence that you no longer support crooks and thieves.  This message goes out only to crooks, thieves, fraudsters, rip-off artists, etc.  There is strong reason to believe that you participate in these activities.  To stop receiving these messages, merely stop engaging in activities related to robbery, cheating, swindling, defamation, sharing in the loot from a crime, etc.

The only purpose of this message is to help transform YOU into a better person. Hopefully you will become someone who no longer aids and abets fraudsters, slanderers, scammers, etc. Isn't it great that there's an internet service dedicated entirely to YOUR improvement and rehabilitation?

It's normal for people like you to WISH for a "law" which, whenever someone's opinion differs from your own, you can legally compel them to shut up. Unfortunately such a law does not exist, else that law would have already been used on YOU many times.

Can't you see that a victim of fraud and defamation has the right to ask YOU to stop participating in even more crime?  Can't you see that if you help people rob and lie and cheat and swindle, then you yourself are encouraging even more of those filthy acts in the future?  Can't you see that a crime victim has the right to ask you to stop rewarding the criminals?

So, for those who claim "our opinions differ therefore I demand that you shut up", I must counter with "you support robbers, cheaters, swindlers, fraudsters, defamers and liars, so I demand that you stop doing these horrible things".  For those who say "remove me from your list" I counter with "remove your OWN self from this list by refusing to support any more crime".

It is not rocket science.  Swindlers, liars and cheaters robbed the people who founded, promoted, financed and grew the Sunday club.  Quite frankly, the robbery victims simply could not afford to lose the $8,500 that the robbers stole.  Today the bad guys use the stolen funds to continue operations ... and YOU are believed to support these crimes.

Well, stop doing that. 
 

If YOU endorse and enable crimes then I very sincerely and earnestly hope that these same crooks choose YOU as their next crime victim.

Surely your mother raised you to know the difference between right and wrong.  Surely you know that stealing is wrong. Surely you know that if you owe money, you should pay it. Surely you know that if you rob and cheat and swindle someone, and then if that person gripes about being robbed, you should NOT continue to defraud and defame and cheat and hoodwink the victim of your crimes.

Here's an executive summary: Do not support crime.  Do not honor defamers, robbers, cheaters, swindlers, bilkers, liars, etc. Stay as far away as you can from the Sunday club.

Abandon your life of crime.  Do the right thing instead.

Learn from Past Mistakes

The local Sunday square dance club:

•  stole the club away from the very people who founded and grew the club,
•  ran up a huge debt and then defaulted (thus stealing a trainload of money),
•  defrauded and cheated and hoodwinked and swindled good honest people,
•  spread bad rumors all over town,
•  lied profusely in an attempt to cover it all up.

 
We can "look the other way" (pretend it didn't happen) ... or .... we can face the problem head-on.

Let's choose to tell the truth. The Sunday club is hopelessly infested with expert and experienced fraudsters and swindlers.

They outright cheated their founder out of many thousands of dollars and many years of hard work.  They turned many so-called (i.e. FAKE) "friends" against the club's founder and they're still costing an honest hard-working couple hundreds of dollars each month due to their constant defamation and slander.

Now they warmly invite YOU to a nice friendly square dance on Sunday.

If you're a total ignoramus with no clue whatsoever, go ahead and fall for their elaborate ruse.  The plain fact is that you're supporting a stolen club which uses the loot from a robbery to hire callers who will gladly accept stolen funds to call for stolen people at a club which is just outrightly totally blatently stolen.

The Sunday club is run by expert liars, crooks, embezzlers, fraudsters and swindlers. The club's original founders made the mistake of trusting these outrageous cheaters.  Let's at least try to prevent other good honest people from making the same mistake.

If you decide to believe all their lies and if you decide to trust these dangerous crooks, please be careful. They might choose YOU for their next robbery victim.
