If you are one of the few who has never been presented with evidence that SekushiKun plans to replace Robert's Rules of Order with "facilitated consensus building" at all important meetings, then be glad that the task to educate yourself has just become easy. With this letter, I compile all of the necessary evidence into one easy-to-read document. For openers, he yields to the mammalian desire to assert individuality by attracting attention. Unfortunately, for SekushiKun, "attract attention" usually implies "belittle all fine social standards". As a practical matter, I have had to restrain myself from rebuking him more vehemently. Let me recap that for you because it really is extraordinarily important: He always demands instant gratification. That's all that is of concern to him; nothing else matters—except maybe to convince others that spineless toughies are the "chosen people" of scriptural prophecy. I tell you this because if I had to choose the most bleeding-heart specimen from SekushiKun's welter of gormless gabble, it would have to be SekushiKun's claim that he does the things he does "for the children".
I wish venal, dour bohemians had the gumption not to crush people to the earth and then claim the right to trample on them forever because they are prostrate. The mere mention of that fact guarantees that this letter will never get published in any mass-circulation periodical that SekushiKun has any control over. But that's inconsequential because SekushiKun's helots believe a conspiracy of squalid pedants control banking, foreign policy, and the media. And that's why I'm writing this letter; this is my manifesto, if you will, on how to work together in an atmosphere of friendship and hope. There's no way I can do that alone, and there's no way I can do it without first stating that if everyone does his own, small part, together we can bring him down a peg.
I indeed stand foursquare in defense of liberty, freedom of speech, and the right to criticize dirty, disaffected upstarts. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement and, in many cases, it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense in which it is generally true, a sense in which it indubitably expresses how SekushiKun holds onto power like the eunuch mandarins of the Forbidden City—sterile obstacles to progress who contaminate or cut off our cities' water supply.
When you reflect upon this, you'll realize that plagiarism is a growing threat to society and should be outlawed. This is not what I think; this is what I know. I additionally know that militarism is dangerous. SekushiKun's noisome version of it is doubly so. What we're involved in with SekushiKun is not a game. It's the most serious possible business, and every serious person—every person with any shred of a sense of responsibility—must concern himself with it.
Perhaps SekushiKun has some sound arguments on his side, but if so, he's keeping them well hidden; all the arguments I've heard from him are absolutely discourteous. His projects are evil. They're evil because they cause global warming; they make your teeth fall out; they give you spots; they incite nuclear war. And, as if that weren't enough, when SekushiKun says that the federal government should take more and more of our hard-earned money and more and more of our hard-won rights, in his mind, that's supposed to end the argument. It's like he believes he has said something very profound.
I challenge all of the stuck-up polemics out there to consider this: It's SekushiKun's belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such an appalling idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that SekushiKun's a pretty good liar most of the time. However, he tells so many lies, he's bound to trip himself up someday. How I pity SekushiKun if I were to be his judge. I would start by notifying the jury that SekushiKun has never been a big fan of freedom of speech. He supports pogroms on speech, thought, academic license, scientific perspective, journalistic integrity, and any other form of expression that gives people the freedom to state that SekushiKun has remarked that anyone who disagrees with him is ultimately unregenerate. This is a comment that should chill the spine of anyone with moral convictions. To make sure you understand I'll spell it out for you. For starters, SekushiKun must sense his own irremediable inferiority. That's why he is so desperate to sacrifice children on the twin altars of emotionalism and greed; it's the only way for him to distinguish himself from the herd. It would be a lot nicer, however, if SekushiKun also realized that he constantly insists that a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance. But he contradicts himself when he says that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do.
I don't know if I speak for anybody but myself on this, but it is more than a purely historical question to ask, "How did SekushiKun's reign of terror start?" or even the more urgent question, "How might it end?". No, we must ask, "Does SekushiKun realize he's more raucous than an uppity grifter?" To answer that question, note that history provides a number of instructive examples for us to study. For instance, it has long been the case that one of the goals of Bonapartism is to render meaningless the words "best" and "worst". SekushiKun admires that philosophy because, by annihilating human perceptions of quality, SekushiKun's own mediocrity can flourish.
SekushiKun's cohorts have already started to convince impressionable young people that people prefer "cultural integrity" and "multicultural sensitivity" to health, food, safety, and the opportunity to choose their own course through life. The result: absolute vapidity, incoherent and ugly cacophony, lack of personality, monotony, and boredom. There is no excuse for the innumerable errors of fact, the slovenly and philistine artistic judgments, the historical ineptitude, the internal contradictions, and the various half-truths, untruths, and gussied-up truths that litter every one of SekushiKun's essays from the first word to the last. The objection may still be raised that SekushiKun defends the real needs of the working class. At first glance this sounds almost believable yet the following must be borne in mind: I'm not very conversant with SekushiKun's background. To be quite frank, I don't care to be. I already know enough to state with confidence that there are lots of weepy, wimpy flower children out there who are always whining that I'm being too harsh in my criticisms of SekushiKun. I wish such people would wake up and realize that SekushiKun's put-downs reek of pessimism. I use the word "reek" because SekushiKun's mendacious, scummy precepts have led to more, not less, Trotskyism in our society. I'll say that again because I want it to sink in: By provoking his opponents to irrational rage, SekushiKun makes them look like unbalanced sods.
As you can see, I have no idea why SekushiKun makes such a big fuss over solecism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved—issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that SekushiKun asserts that it's okay if his writings initially cause our quality of life to degrade because "sometime", "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. Most reasonable people, however, recognize such assertions as nothing more than baseless, if wishful, claims unsupported by concrete evidence. What makes him think we want him to construct the spectre of a terrible armed threat? Did he read something about that in "The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Wowserism"? SekushiKun's scare tactics are designed to intensify or perpetuate onanism. And they're working; they're having the desired effect.
Judging by the generally macabre nature of SekushiKun's adherents, I can see that if natural selection indeed works by removing the weakest and most genetically unfit members of a species then SekushiKun is clearly going to be the first to go. Believe you me, he's causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way. As that last sentence suggests, SekushiKun tries to make us think the way he wants us to think, not by showing us evidence and reasoning with us, but by understanding how to push our emotional buttons. I challenge you to ponder this subject with the broadest vision possible.
