Interesting study:
Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana
on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will
go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold
water. After a while another monkey makes the attempt with same result, all
the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another
monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it
with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the
stairs.
To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack 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 five monkeys and replace it with a new
one.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes
part in the punishment with enthusiasm.
Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,
then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is
attacked.
Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not
permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating
of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of
the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless,
no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.
Why not?
Because as far as they know, that is the way it has always been done around
here.
And that, my fellow monkeys, is how Congress operates....
How many of the monkeys need to be replaced this fall? Do we do it one
monkey at a time, half of the monkeys, or all of the monkeys? You decide.
