Let's see--6 hours a week just for boasting sessions, and probably closer to 7 or 8 if you include the time it takes to actually prepare (getting that damn suit on) and get there. Add another 4 hours, including getting ready, if you go out in field circus just once a week. That is 10 hours a week, and if you include the a$$emblies you are looking at at something close to 650 hours a year wasted on being a witless. At 2.69 ounces of silver an hour (which is hyperinflation-proof, so it doesn't lose its value with time), you are looking at 1,748 1/2 ounces of silver just for the time you waste on the witlesses IN ONE YEAR. How would you like that much silver from the Washtowel Slaveholdery?
And that doesn't even include time wasted pio-sneering, at hounder's meetings, and extra volunteer work you get snagged to do. If you are a hounder or a child of one (or spouse), you are easily looking at another 15 or more hours a week doing extra duties on top of the 12 you waste as a regular witless. And it doesn't include not being allowed to listen to your favorite music or watch your favorite TV shows, the dorkhood in school, missing out on "worshiping the sun and the Devil", not being able to have birthdays, no camping trips, no after-school activities, no college, no after-school work, the flunked tests because of staying up until 10 PM on test night or no study time because of field circus, or being dragged out in field circus during times outside regular field circus. Or the money wasted with the gas donations, suit dry cleanings, or eating at McDonalds every day for lunch. Pio-sneers waste even more of their time being witlesses.
Which is a lot of silver. Personally, I think they owe me 300 million ounces of the stuff, and that was just for the basics and being scammed into doing something for a God that proved wholly unworthy of my worship. And it could easily have been 45 billion ounces, or more, for anyone that is born-in and had their whole lives fxxxed up by the religion.
