CHAPTER 2
1 All right.
2 We apologize.
3 We're well aware that this is America,
4 aWhere nobody is anybody's servant,
5 Least of all the people who work for the government,
6 Because you're the ones who take care of all the important things,
7 bNamely, the things nobody else wants to be responsible for,
8 Which is a lot of things,
9 And probably explains why you're so cross and grumpy,
10 All the time.

CHAPTER 3
1 But have you figured out that just because nobody else wants to be responsible doesn't mean that you have to be?
2  
3 Well, we know you're busy,
4 Provided you've gotten into the office already,
5 And so we're just going to go right ahead,
6 And pretend you're paying attention to us,
7 Just like you pretend to pay attention to the public.
8 How does that sound?
9  
10 Okay, then.
11 Where were we?

CHAPTER 4
1 Oh yes.
2 We were talking about responsibility.
3 Ugh. It's a dirty word, isn't it?
4 The thing is, it's your job to handle all the messy unpleasant stuff nobody else wants to think about,
a.Hall.15.12-13
b.Brd.18.13-16
c.Main.14.3-4
d.Mawr.8.1-6
e.Swar.10.13-18
f.FnJ.14.20
g.Ira.21.29-32
h.Ned.31.10
i.Hall.5.6
j.Hall.5.6
5 But it doesn't have to be as awful as it sounds,
6 cBecause if nobody else is thinking about these things,
7 Then how on earth are they going to know if you don't think about them either,
8 And just do whatever you feel like doing instead?
9 They aren't.
10 That's why the dWay of Harry is so perfect for the Hallites.
11 Really.

CHAPTER 5
1 eIt was Harry who pointed out that none of this is going anywhere anyway,
2 fWhich is why it wouldn't help to think about it even if we wanted to,
3 Which we mostly don't,
4 As I think we can all agree.
5 gThat's also why Harry gave us his Trinity,
6 hConsisting of Desire, Certainty, and Blame,
7 Which help all us Harriers get through daily life,
8 Without thinking about anything at all.

CHAPTER 6
1 Now, if you work for the government, Harry's Trinity is especially important,
2 Because when people idesire something,
3 They want the government to give it to them.
4 When they are jcertain about something,
5 They want the government to turn their certainty into the law of the land.
