or possibly a tube of epoxy to keep the cards together permanently, a few 
armed friends/sycophants to keep watch on the house of cards, perhaps a 
few mentally unbalanced people to kidnap or assasinate Person B's friends

existance of the house of cards and make people think that it's good and 
deserves to be there, and on and on and on...

couldn't we all just get along?
