Psychology
You start with a cage containing four monkeys, and inside
the cage you hang a banana on a string, and then you place a set of stairs
under the banana.
Before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb
toward the banana.
You then spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. After a
while, another monkey makes an attempt. As soon as he touches the stairs,
you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water.
Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the
stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the
cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and
attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat
the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if
he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original four monkeys,
replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is
attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment - with
enthusiasm - because he is now part of the "team."
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey,
followed by the fourth. Every time the
newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.
Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why
they were not permitted to climb the stairs.
Neither do they know why they are participating in the
beating of the newest monkey. Having replaced all of the original monkeys,
none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water.
Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the
stairway for the Banana.
Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it
has always been!
This is how today's House and Senate operates, and this Is
why from time to time, ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME
TIME!
DISCLAIMER: This is meant as no disrespect to monkeys.***
