There is something in the underworld of digital transmission called a CRC, or Cyclical Redundancy Check. It appears to be a "1" or "0" at the end of a binary message. There are zillions of these messages zipping throughout the air and ground that make up a digital thought or premise. The CRC asks a question. "Are you there?" It expects an answer. "I'm here and I understood perfectly your question. In fact, I am perfectly going to send that response back to you." If you perfectly agree that we are both in perfect agreement, let me know." This all happens within nanoseconds. If the data comes back flawed, the CRC rejects the message and resends the question until there is perfection. Too many CRC's are considered a problem. The problem needs to be eradicated, as the CRC's start clogging the transmission medium with rejected and resent questions and the real stuff, the important stuff, can't get through. Speed of access decreases exponentially.
So here I sit, sending out CRC's and the answers I get back are flawed. I'm told by the resender's CRC that my question was flawed. I'm reminded that the problem is at my end. I'm informed that I need to resolve the problem ASAP or penalties will ensue. If the 'other end' needs to fix the problem, and it is determined by them that it was my problem all along, there will be a fee. Today the attorney general resigned. I sent a message with a question, "is he going to be held accountable for his incompetence and the damage he did to our justice system and the amount of money it cost to weed out his obstructions?" The answer returned from 'the other end' (in this case the president) was that it was a shame his good name was so viciously dragged through the mud. That answer seemed a little flawed to me so I resent the question with a different coding, "Is there any way we can drag his good name through the penal system?" The bandwidth has obviously choked on the amount of CRC's slamming into each other and everything has come to a standstill. I am awaiting a retaliatory penalty in the snail mail box at the end of my driveway. It will require me to go fetch it in a primitive manner, without a minimum 3 year commitment to a subscription service and automatic deduction from my checking account, or a piece of plastic. Does that mean it is valid? How can I reject it? The last time I tossed a CRC at the postman, he said to leave him alone or he would call his supervisor. I tossed a CRC at the State Trooper who said my plates had expired. He went for his sidearm. I tossed a CRC at my insurance company for denying payment on a process they found to be deniable and they threatened me with cancellation. I tossed a CRC at the bank and they added an administrative fee.
Maybe we should remove these cyclical redundancy checks from our entire mental environment... no flawed questions, no flawed answers, no flawed information, thus no problems. Never mind, executive privilege has already set that standard and trickle-down is in effect. Kindly delete this message as flawed.

Beware the culture of the polygraph
the broadcast of weekly esoterica
for the same brain planners
Snob culture is not culture at all
the lilt of the listless
the life course pablum peckers
the dope scope extrapolation gabbers
Case droppers, mind boppers
Framed framers framing the names
oh totally truthful broadcasts,
these cherry-picked facts
We remember, stumbling, clutching
our lost tickets until they start a new case
in time's sliced haste
I miss the old NPR, when the P didn't stand for Petrolium
