Public
Response-ability
&
Responsibility
Before one can “take responsibility”
[qua “culpability”]
one needs to have been adequately-enabled to
“make a relevant response”
A Currently-‘Afoot’ Hypothetical Instantiation
A ‘lone’ member
of “The New Earth Citizenry”
attempting to progress from
‘lone-learning-&-living’
to
Cooperatively-Participatory Democratisation
in new- foundation groups of
three-around
a set three-sided “Reformative-Governance” table
realising a need to hold some ‘contingency working-capital’
drew a ‘loose-wad-of-notes’ from the bank
and
trying to “keep-up-to-speed” quickly stuffed it into a pocket and left
BUT
unbeknowably the wad slipped out of that pocket
onto the “public” pavement.
——————
must pause here
for chores maintenance and self-healing,
say until the next cardinal-timeframe begins at 0600 [today]
—- ———
CONTINUING
Our ‘lone-Earth-citizenship-learner’ ,
unaware that the ‘wad’
of [in-effect] “co-taxpayers-money”**
had fallen onto the public footpath,
somewhat ‘blithely’ continued “New Earth-Citizenning”
by heading for a Camping Shop
thinking
that “extants” or “recruits” may be found
in some reasonably ‘local’ and ‘natural-life’ camping ground
BUT
having found out how to erect a 2-person tent
(no 1-persons being available anyway)
actually bought a small stove and a pair-packet of mess-tins ***
paying –
by card !
BUT THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE ‘WAD’ REMAINED UNCHECKED !!!
—
0533
(to be continued by or soon after 0600)-
(( when the ** and *** will be explained too))
==================================================
Well, here we are, well after 0600 –
SO THE WAD “IS IN THE POCKET” STILL [???] –
Our “intrepid-would-be-Earth-Sustainworthying-‘proactive'”
by this time had also selected
a few camping-worthy grocery items
from another
“acceptably Earth-&-Humankind-Sustainworthying, cooperative-ish, shop”
and having been public-bus’d ‘home’
had offed the { ‘wad’-safely-containing } top-jacket
and was at this selfsame
“Self-&-Civilisation Co-Sustainworthying”
‘Life-Work-Co-HQ-Desk’
when
the phone rang.
————–
It was the bank, “security-checking”
if our ‘lone-proactive’
had reached home safely, with the wad.
“Oh yes, thank you, safe and sound”
happily responded our ‘loner’
{ ‘ lowner’ – the [in-fact]”‘owner-bankster’s-underling” }
And it ‘came-to-pass’, within minutes, that the present presence of the wad be checked ..
and when not immediately found, checked again –
and then (somewhat feverishly now)
again,-
and again & again.
“Ah! Ring the bank back and report – “
but the bank had by now closed for the day.
———-
But what was that “Camping Shop” name doing
alone-mentioned
on the banks’ website ?
“Ah! must have inadvertently left the wad there !
Ring them quickly, they may still be open – “
Alas!
‘Havn’t seen it here’ came the response.
========================
Dead loss.
“Serves me right”
culturally-reflected our co-sustainworthying-er/ess
heading for ‘under-the-bedclothes’ to re-cover.
—————-
break for further chores
continue before 2059 cardinal-hour
Suddenly,
amidst the
‘evidently-neglectfully-wad-bereft’ pro-activist’s
commiserations
came strong knocking on the front-door.
It was not one but two fully dressed and armed
Police=Persons !!
————- to be completed ————-
CONDENSATION
Having established identities and situations,
the female and male police-persons advised that the proactivist had failed to push the wad far enough into the pocket for it to remain there
and it had actually slipped out onto the pavement
just outside of the bank – the responsible person having not noticed the drop.
An elderly citizen had seen it, but was slow-moving
and had no loud voice, so couldn’t either shout or run; so evidently rescued the Wad and, taking back into the bank reported the event,
the bank confirming that the person had drawn such -but since the bank had no CCTV nor had any employee seen it,
for greater security and legal reasons the money must be reported to the Police.
Which then had happened.
The police then ‘took it from there’
and visited the proactivist, advising a call at both the bank and then to the PolicenStationto collect the molney
which had by legality;-agreement with thebank, been kept safe in the Station.
Documentation completed, the ‘lifesupportive-wad’ is once again in the care of its ‘owner’
==============================================
SEQUEL
We might just try following that wad now, to see what transpires.
