Because of Life's attitude I usually don't respond to its initiatives, but this time I'll make an exception. Although the pressing need for defending the principles of individual freedom, the rule of law, private property, and limited government is acknowledged here, the main focus of this letter regards Life's desire to create profound emotional distress for people on both sides of the issue. Personally, I don't expect Life to give up its crusade to take advantage of human fallibility to help scrofulous crooks back up their prejudices with “scientific” proof, but we'll see.
If you'll allow me a minor dysphemism, Life's shenanigans have no redeeming value. Or, to phrase that a little more politely, Life wants us to believe that everyone who fails to think and act in strict accordance with its requirements is a satanic misosophist. I'm hopeful that most people will see right through that lie like it were a gooey glob of ectoplasm. At a minimum, I hope that people realize that Life's fairy-tale-inhaling partisans actually believe that all it takes to start a rabbit farm is a magician's magic hat. Let me rephrase that: We can never return to the past. And if we are ever to move forward to the future, we undeniably have to put to rest improvident and repressive pronouncements such as Life's. Life's propaganda factories continuously spew forth messages like, “Life would sooner give up money, fame, power, and happiness than perform a homophobic act” and, “There should be publicly financed centers of solipsism”. What they don't tell you, though, is that Life contends that the peak of fashion is to cause the destruction of human ambition and joy. In the long run, however, it's only fooling itself. Life would be better off if it just admitted to itself that it's scary how effectively it has been lashing out at everyone and everything in sight. I deeply regret the loss of life and injuries sustained by this tragedy. I am currently working to understand the surrounding circumstances so as to improve our ability to condemn Life's hypocrisy.
For brevity, I won't comment further on that but rather on the way that I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with Life. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I dispel ignorance. When was the last time you heard Life mention that it behaves like an eternal student at a vast, malapert campus where everyone is taught that Elvis is alive and well and living in Tweed, Ontario? Probably never. That's why its tracts are a mere cavil, a mere scarecrow, one of the last shifts of a desperate and dying cause.
It may seem at first that Life treats people as objects. When we descend to details, however, we see that it likes to posture as a guardian of virtue and manners. However, when it comes right down to it, what Life is pushing is both dictatorial and juvenile. Life's votaries often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. One might insist that Life thinks that it can make me suffer endless humiliation if it can inure us to insincere hooliganism. While that's true, it does somewhat miss the point. You see, it believes that it's a wonderful, charitable organization. That story is full of more holes than a cheap hooker with a piercing fetish and a heroin habit.
Life's promise of equality is a false one. That said, let me continue. Despite the fact that Life has OD'd on vigilantism, I wish frowsy quacksalvers had the gumption not to rouse the agitated petite bourgeoisie to chauvinistic fervor and hoodwink them into wasting taxpayers' money. To say anything else would be a lie. Regardless of whether we consider Life a lunatic, an evil aggressor, or whatever, if anyone should propose a practical scheme for challenging rather than accommodating the mainstream's presuppositions, I should be quite disposed to incur almost any degree of expense to accomplish that object. In the meantime, let me point out that Life has spent untold hours trying to treat people like unprincipled nobodies. During that time, did it ever once occur to it that it has been promoting door-to-door roundups of “troublemakers” (meaning people who resist being inducted into the ranks of its coalition of brain-damaged, reckless battologists and insane upstarts) and their delivery into concentration camps (more accurately: liquidation camps)? After days of agonized pondering and reflection I finally came to the conclusion that a large body of work now exists that, taken together, presents a startling set of postulates about such matters of universal importance as the harm caused by its carnaptious diatribes. In other words--and let's say this plainly, clearly, and soberly so that no one can misinterpret its true intentions--it relies heavily on “useful idiots”, that is, people who unwittingly do its dirty work for it. Without its swarms of useful idiots, Life would not have been able to conceal the fact that it once tried to convince a bunch of us that it and its collaborators should ultimately decide what opinions are acceptable or unacceptable. Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed, and a number of people informed the rest of the gang that whenever Life attempts to threaten our core values, allegiances, and beliefs, it looks around waiting for applause as if it's done something decent and moral rather than immature and aggressive. I would like to close by saying that I, speaking as someone who is not a bleeding-heart sociopath, really herald Life's failure to attract more support for its pharisaical, randy stances as a teachable moment.
