You Want to Believe I Do Not See

This was once part of a phone message for my own protagonist and the group of his supporters and enablers who listened in while pretending they were not.
Now though, I intend it for each and every one of you Local Voyeurs.
Get together and look for the 'hidden' meaning in it.

The Testing Parable
By Patricia Lefave, Monophrenic 

Mental illness professionals like to 'test' the 'mentally ill' to see how crazy we are compared to a predetermined standard of normality as defined by them. Many other dysfunctional groups representing a 'norm' like to do the same thing. These little tests remind me of lab rat experiments.   

The experimenter wants to see how fast the lab rat can find it's way through the maze. Before the little test though, the rat talked it over with the other lab rats back in the cage and they decided together that it really did not matter how fast they made it to the finish line since it was never fast enough to suit the lab technician anyway. So they decided to just stop running the maze and just wait it out hoping the technician would get tired of the 'game' and stop playing it.  

Of course the lab technicians had no idea that the rats understood the test was about seeing how fast they would get through the maze and the only reason the rats had co-operated so far in running it, was the faint hope that if they did it fast enough to satisfy the testers, they would get out of the lab and go home.

When that proved not to be the case, they saw no further point at all in running the maze since the motivation to do so was now gone.

 The lab technicians of course, knowing themselves to be the genetic superiors over the lab rats, concluded that the rats were all of extremely low intelligence. To what other conclusion could they possibly come as objective observers of an inferior species? 

Why Free Speech? 

The reason we must have the right to free speech[1] and the right to disagree with 'authority' is because 'authority' which can never be questioned or held accountable for anything is called a dictatorship. That means we can all become trapped in a world, or a situation, in which the limits of all our hope for escape or to regain our own power IMPOSED upon us by an individual who believes that s/he is God Almighty, with no power, understanding or mind higher, and with the inherent right by his or her own reckoning, to impose those beliefs on us all.
