PSYCHOLOGY 101 ? - Behavior Experiment

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, and the entitlement crowd,

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.
