Sometimes Its Just a Letter

This is America and we are a melting pot.
As such we are home to a multitude of beliefs systems.

Personal beliefs systems sometimes befuddle me.

I am intrigued by them and as long as no one is getting hurt, I try to respect them. When it comes to conspiracy theories however they set off my bogus alarm. Yours should go off also.

I am reminded of a conversation the conspiracy boys had about a past effort to create a conspiracy based on a letter. I believe it was a conspiracy to boost the number of words that begin with the letter Q.


Something fun and relatively harmless.

We join our boys in mid conspiracy discussion.

“The letter q doesn’t get the respect it deserves. It’s a versatile and powerful letter unduly hampered by and tied to the letter “u”. Heck even the pronunciation contains the letter “u”,” stated the bearded one.

“So what do you propose we do about it?”, asked Mr. Panama.


“We come up with new words beginning with q but not supported by an adjacent u”, replied the bearded one.

“Just like that?,” uttered the bar tender.

“Sure, new words are added to the dictionary every day so why not?”, asked the bearded one.

“Yes but the words added to a dictionary are words or terms that have been in use by a large number of people for some time,” offered Mr Panama.

“That’s true but I don’t expect immediate gratification and I think it could keep a lot of people occupied and out of trouble,” replied the bearded one.

“In fact people that do this can be called “querons”, added the bartender.

“Um, we’ll think about that one replied the bearded one.”

You may wonder what became of that little conspiracy, or you may not its just a letter.

According to the Bearded one ,“We realized we would have to involve a lot more people to get new words adopted. In addition the amount of time to do that would be prohibitive.”

We couldn’t see tens of thousands of people wasting much of their time for the sake of a letter.”

Yea, definitely a complete waste of time. I’ve got a paper clip collection that I need to get started.
