BS – GOV’T HAS A KNACK FOR THAT

In the card game 'Bullshit' the cards are dealt out and the objective is to be first to be rid of all your cards. The game starts with the first player discarding one or more Aces, the next lays down 2s, and so on in sequence. Since the cards are discarded face down, you can Bullshit if you don’t have the card called for, or you can throw down extras to be rid of your cards faster. 

A player that suspects a player has cheated can challenge the play by calling Bullshit and the player must reveal his cards. If the cards don’t match what was called, the player then has to pick up all the cards from the discarded pile. If there was no Bullshit, the one who called it has to pick up. The play resumes until a player has no cards left in his hand thus winning the game.


In the game of Government Bullshit (BS) challengers have no guarantee that whatever rules there are, (and there are plenty) will be followed. Playing BS with this group (likely the same with any corporate giant) tests your resolve because it is almost impossible to call Bullshit and key players are seldom forced to ‘show their hand’.


Look for instances throughout this blog where the card played by an authority does not match what is stated in evidence--or, is against policy--or, against that legislated by statute and law. See if you can spot one and play an interactive role by calling out BULLSHIT!! You won't win anything, but I guarantee you'll get much more out of it this way than having to go through (and pay for) years of therapy.


If you are considering playing BS, or in the midst of a game yourself, be forewarned: bullshitting should never be confused with stupidity - although sometimes that may very well be the case. Generally speaking, in Government BS you'll find most players are quite intelligent but who will on occasion defend really bad decisions; taking up positions that defy any sane or reasonable logic aka #WINNING!.


Why would someone so prominent and respected in the community do that and chance a character assassination? PLEASE VISIT VARIOUS POSTINGS ON THIS BLOG SOON FOR MORE THOUGHTFUL INSIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT.
