I began to notice whispering behind my back and dissension in the ranks. I formed my own Secret Service and put them to work weeding out the malcontents. There was no latitude in my orders here, malcontents were to be weeded out and "REEDUCATED" by force if necessary. This seemed to work nicely as malcontents could now be recognized by their bruises. The rest of my followers simply avoided any contact with them.

Now, as my army marched onward, I had to have a reason for my expansion other than simply usurping my neighbors property. My first idea was to claim the neighboring community had weapons of mass destruction and they were about to invade our neighborhood.

Unfortunately, after invading the neighbor, no weapons of mass destruction could be found, so I simply claimed we were liberating our neighbors from the tyrannical dictatorship in place in their area. As this was a very liberal idea and most people favored government control, no one questioned my actions. Those who did were immediately "reeducated" by my waving my stick in their face while I spoke in harsh terms.

Now I looked favorably on richer neighborhoods because of their ability to pay higher taxes. However, in order to insure the home front would remain quiet as I usurped new neighborhoods, it became necessary to exercise a limited control of weapons.

As Absolute Dictator I passed a law making it mandatory to register any stick longer that 2.5 feet in length. I made it a felony crime to own such a stick without registration. Then I decreed that any felony criminal was to do a certain amount of labor for the good of the community without pay.

Anyone caught carrying a concealed stick was reeducated on the spot, then sentenced to community labor. Unfortunately this served only to remove concealed weapons from the hands of the legitimate citizens of my dictatorship, while the evil criminal element went right on carrying vicious concealed sticks on their person. Thus it became necessary to issue "Stop and Search" orders to my secret police.

In time there were a great number of felons because the average broom stick is 4.5 feet long. However, ignorance is no excuse for the law ---- or something like that. In time every subject under my rule had served a goodly amount of Community Service and every stick longer that 2.5 feet in length had been cut in half or better depending on it’s length.

In order to insure there would be no illegitimate sticks available to the private citizen, I dictated that all sticks found anywhere must be cut to a length less than 2.5 feet. I even went as far as to burn down the forests within my dictatorship. Still the criminal element was able to obtain illegal sticks from outside my dictatorship.

I slowly realized it wasn’t the stick that did the damage, but the person wielding the stick. With this in mind I dictated that anyone caught with an illegal stick would be sentenced to community labor for the rest of their lives.

Without having to worry about revolt from within because there were no legitimate weapons to be had, I was able to devote all my time to expansion. I directed my army further afield, eventually usurping the whole town of Mount Perry.

Now I could dictate to my people how fast they should drive and everything else right up to what they ate and how much of it. Life was good and I waxed fat and sassy.

Then one day, as I was negotiating the surrender of a neighboring community, I happened to bring my stick down smartly on the negotiating table to emphasize a point. My stick broke in two. Instantly I was faced with a whole room full of people who had larger sticks than I did. There was a mass revolt and anarchy ruled the scene. I raced for the doorway and escaped with only inches to spare.

On arriving at my home, I found my own children had also revolted. I had no choice, I picked up a green willow stick and waved it at my children in a threatening manner while speaking in a loud, stern voice.
