Ignoramuses clamor to buy the new snake oil which is surely the real thing unlike the last 100 times and cram into garages to vote for the best all-star wrestler. The pragmatic get on board when the conductor calls because they know how the game is played and what happens to those who don’t play along. They won’t feel the sting of the belt on their backsides. They’ll giggle while they watch the deserving others get it and feel satisfied for their obedience while it erodes their souls, their completed sales are their ticket to blindness and bliss.
