Heaven and Hell used to feature large in the minds of untold millions. Bad boys believed they'd go to Hell if they were naughty. Good boys made sure they didn't do anything untoward which might catch the Devil's eye. Nobody actually knew what was going to happen to them if they were unfortunate enough to be claimed by Lucifer’s Legions but they knew for certain sure it was going to be horribly painful. Of course it wasn't the knowing what evil horrors awaited them which prompted many of our high-spirited lads and lasses to keep their antisocial feelings under control; it was the not knowing.
Unfortunately, the fear of Hell is wearing a bit thin nowadays due to the efforts of the Well-Intentioned who, deeply religious though many might be, have laboured mightily to ensure that louts, villains, homicidal maniacs, juvenile snots and fat-fingered lawyers feel free to go about their daily business of raping, pillaging and generally annoying decent hardworking folk without having to fear the consequences of their actions, now or in the afterlife.
That will all change soon after the Grumpies seize power.
The Pie-In-The-Sky-Factory functions in much the same way as Hell in that it doesn't cost the taxpayer a single penny and nobody ever returns. Nobody, not even the Grumpy Team, will ever know what gruesome fate awaits the poor unfortunates who cross the threshold of The Factory, never to see their Mummies or Daddies again.
Ever-so-grateful parents will, once again, be able to instill lashings of fear, terror and respect into the otherwise uneventful lives of their little Munchkins (latent psychopaths all) with grisly, spine-chilling bedtime stories about the appalling fate that await those who spend their time on earth doing wicked things.
