The Trojan Horse is a tale from the Trojan War about the ploy that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and win the war. After a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside. The Greeks left the wooden image and pretended to sail away. When the Trojans found the massive horse on the beach, they pulled it into their city as a victory trophy.
That night the elite Greek force silently crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war.
Is it possible that their lies within our own cities an object or institution, seen and embraced by the people as a benefit, that is actually leading and will lead to the demise of a population that once hailed the slogans “every day low prices” and “save money, live better,” as a helping hand from swirling financial woes?
