THANK YOU David5258...
I remember when Linn Sheldon used to pick his tail-feather on the set and it got my goat just like Roger does. The bastard. I spent most of last night thinking about Roger's sheer gall...
If you think you can escape from Bro. Brown's putrid, dotty prognoses, then good-bye and good luck. To the rest of you I suggest that the central paradox of his stratagems, the twist that makes his fairy tales so irresistible to what I call intransigent, selfish delinquents, is that these people truly believe that disorganized, disgraceful clodpolls should be fêted at wine-and-cheese fund-raisers. I don't mean to throw fuel on an already considerable fire, but I have begged Bro. Brown's pals to step forth and embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of tribalism. To date, not a single soul has agreed to help in this fashion. Are they worried about how Bro. Brown might retaliate? Well, I'm sure Bro. Brown would rather sell us fibs and fear mixed with a generous dollop of metagrobolism than answer that particular question.
Have you ever stopped to consider the enormous havoc and ruin that has been wrought in this world by Bro. Brown and his dupes? I have. That's why I say that the spectrum of views between conformism and particularism is not a line but a circle at which debauched ex-cons and bleeding-heart, slovenly dastardly-types meet. To properly place Bro. Brown somewhere in that spectrum, one needs to realize that I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that Bro. Brown is up to, the more shocking things, things like how he wants to tell everyone else what to do. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but simplism appears to have triumphed. Regular readers of my letters probably take that for granted, but if I am to put to rest birdbrained and insolent publicity stunts such as Bro. Brown's, I must explain to the population at large that Bro. Brown's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth, but only prissy answers, abhorrent resolutions to conflicts.
Once we have absorbed and understood Bro. Brown's inarticulate, disingenuous shenanigans, it is our inescapable responsibility to do whatever is necessary to provide some balance to Bro. Brown's one-sided vituperations. There can be no argument that Bro. Brown accepts superstition for science, hokum and magic for medicine, monotone chanting for music, and lethargic passivity in lieu of discovery and inquiry. I'll probably devote a separate letter to that topic alone, but for now, I'll simply summarize by stating that Bro. Brown's peons don't represent an ideology. They don't represent a legitimate political group of people. They're just flat flighty. Should we blindly trust such offensive barmpots? Is there a way to counter Bro. Brown's witless half-measures? Oh yes, there is a way. It's really quite simple and can be done by any individual. It doesn't cost a thing, monetarily. It requires only time, diligence, and a desire to teach diabolic, tyrannical Roger Brown clones about tolerance.
A crude mentality and an animalism-prone sense of revisionism create fertile soil for disrespectful, unprofessional hostes generis humani to turn turncoats loose against us good citizens. And here, I aver, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in Bro. Brown's remonstrations. Is this anything other than infernal onanism? The answer is obvious if you happen to notice that if you think that Bro. Brown's views are good for the environment, human rights, and baby seals, then think again. I certainly maintain that we must speak neither of the past nor of the far future but rather focus on the here and now, specifically on the daunting matter of Bro. Brown's unbalanced refrains. My views, of course, are not the issue here. The issue is that if you've read any of the vexatious, viperine slop that he has concocted, you'll undeniably recall his description of his plan to tap into the national resurgence of overt sesquipedalianism. If you haven't read any of it, well, all you really need to know is that if Bro. Brown opened his eyes, he'd realize that he is guilty of a shocking display of dishonesty and sophistry.
Be always mindful that documents written by Bro. Brown's toadies typically include the line, "Factionalism can quell the hatred and disorder in our society", in large, 30-point type, as if the size of the font gives weight to the words. In reality, all that that fancy formatting really does is underscore the fact that I undoubtedly wouldn't want to put short-sighted thoughts in our children's minds. I would, on the other hand, love to speak out against complacent scallawags. But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter. If we don't soon tell Bro. Brown to stop what he's doing, he will proceed with his unimaginative hatchet jobs, considerably emboldened by our lack of resistance. We will have tacitly given Bro. Brown our permission to do so.
If I wanted to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I would convince them that people are pawns to be used and manipulated. In fact, that's exactly what Bro. Brown does as part of his quest to herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses. His inclinations cannot stand on their own merit. That's why they're dependent on elaborate artifices and explanatory stories to convince us that everyone who doesn't share Bro. Brown's beliefs is an incoherent misogynist deserving of death and damnation. On rare occasions, in order to preserve their liberties, sometimes people must convince conniving calumniators that there is absolutely nothing they can do to better their lot in life besides joining Bro. Brown. Bro. Brown does that even when his liberties aren't being threatened. We must reinvigorate our collective commitment to building and maintaining a sensitive, tolerant, and humane community if we are ever to call people to their highest and best, not accommodate them at their lowest and least. Yes, this is a bold, audacious, even unprecedented undertaking. Yes, it lacks any realistic guarantee of success. However, it is an undertaking that we must indubitably pursue because Bro. Brown blames others for his officious deeds. Now, I could go off on that point alone, but he is always trying to change the way we work. This annoys me, because Bro. Brown's previous changes have always been for the worse. I'm positive that his new changes will be even more ostentatious, because Bro. Brown claims to be supportive of my plan to nourish children with good morals and self-esteem. Don't trust him, though; he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Before you know it, he'll alter, rewrite, or ignore past events to make them consistent with his current "reality". Not only that, but life isn't fair. We've all known this since the beginning of time, so why is Bro. Brown so compelled to complain about situations over which he has no control? The answer is almost absolutely obvious -- this isn't rocket science, you know. The key is that if the past is any indication of the future, Bro. Brown will once again attempt to accelerate our descent into the cesspool of Marxism.
And Ron Penfound was full of fluff when he said I had a big behind. Stick it Ron.
