Now we're going to play a game that's lots of lots of fun i learned it from my auntie who learned it from my uncle my uncle has a secret job in washington dc something fancy with the government i hear he knows the president first you line up in a row and count "eeny miney moe" there are guards and there are prisoners and this is how it goes (key change!) 1,2,3 you are free and the rest must come with me who are you are you a witch no you are a terrorist if you think that you aren't you can tell us who you are but if you are not on the list then you are a terrorist and the terrorists get totured even if no proff exists because we can't take any risks and the terrorists get ordered to get back in line so we can play the game a second time if you're just a pacifist of some kind of activist then you are a terrorist why it says so on the list if you're a writer or artist or a lover facticist then you are a terrorist 'cause it says so on the list and the terrorists get tortured whether or not they want to play because they're guilty anyway and the terrorists get murdered unless the terrorists insists he is not a terrorist but we can't find you on the list are you a doctor or a priest i'm a right-wing journalist so you are a terrorist if you're a fat capitalist or a neo-nazi facist we can find you on the list and you're not a terrorists isn't this an easy game anyone can play it people of all ages genders, creeds,(?) and races play it with a couple or a giant group entire continents can play the rules don't change they stay the same but once the game is done and someone's won there is a variation that is almost just as fun 1,2,3 come with me and the terrorists are free if you lose and get left over then you are a sympathizer if you are a singer-songwriter or a union-organizer bet your bottom-dollar you will be a sympathizer and the sympathizers must be punished even worse than terrorists as an example for the kids sympathizers must be banished so to find out which is which we must refer back to the list if you're a church administrator or a corporate stockholder or a nuclear arms maker you are not a sympathizer if you're not a sympathizer be a terrorist, okay you have to be one or the other or we have no game to play!
