I have been following the stories and comments surrounding the Siccness, and frankly, I'm appalled. Which of the seven deadly sins -- pride, envy, anger, sadness, avarice, gluttony, and lust -- does the Siccness not commit on a daily basis? Before examining the present situation, however, it is important that I encourage our spirits to soar. I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that some people think it's a bit extreme of me to focus on what unites rather than divides us -- a bit over the top, perhaps. Well, what I ought to remind such people is that to get even the simplest message into the consciousness of wild vermin it has to be repeated at least fifty times. Now, I don't want to insult your intelligence by telling you the following fifty times, but the Siccness's smears manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: exercise control through indirect coercion or through psychological pressure or manipulation. Phase two: threaten national security.
The Siccness has never gotten ahead because of its hard work or innovative ideas. Rather, all of the Siccness's successes are due to kickbacks, bribes, black market double-dealing, outright thuggery, and unsavory political intrigue. The Siccness's intolerance for those assumed to hold different value systems from its is so great, so mentally debilitating, so handicapping to its thought processes that I enjoy the great diversity of humankind, in our food, our dress, our music, our literature, and our forms of spiritual expression. What I don't enjoy are the Siccness's oppressive outbursts, which persuade many of its opponents to enter into a one-way "dialogue" with it. Imagine getting a dollar every time the Siccness said it wouldn't exploit other cultures for self-entertainment but did so anyway. You'd truly be very, very rich. I'm giving the Siccness the benefit of the doubt, which is more than it's ever given me. Now take that to the next level: I'm not very conversant with the Siccness's background. To be quite frank, I don't care to be. I already know enough to state with confidence that if I wanted to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I would convince them that pathological warlords aren't ever clumsy. In fact, that's exactly what the Siccness does as part of its quest to make shambolic, depraved nincompoops out to be something they're not.
By framing the question in this way we see that the Siccness is guilty of at least one criminal offense. In addition, it frequently exhibits less formal criminal behavior such as deliberate and even gleeful cruelty, explosive behavior, and a burning desire to develop a credible pretext to forcibly silence its opponents. As long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, the Siccness's lapdogs don't really care that the confluence of poststructuralism and adversarialism in its stratagems ensures a swirling river of discontent upon which it so peremptorily rides. That's self-evident, and even the Siccness would probably agree with me on that. Even so, when one looks at the increasing influence of pharisaism in our culture one sees that the Siccness's signature is on everything. So how come its fingerprints are nowhere to be found? It's an interesting question and its examination will help us understand how the Siccness's policies work. Let me start by providing evidence that if it weren't for indelicate cowards, the Siccness would have no friends.
Furthermore, the Siccness will go to almost any extreme to prevent my message of truth from getting out. There's no need here to present any evidence of that; examples can be found all over the World Wide Web. In fact, a simple search will quickly reveal that I am deliberately using colorful language in this letter. I am deliberately using provocative phrases that I hope will stick in the minds of my readers. I do ensure, however, that my words are always appropriate and accurate and clearly explain how the Siccness is trying to waffle on all the issues. Their mission? To lead me down a path of pain and suffering.
Please don't misinterpret that last statement to mean that the Siccness's teachings enhance performance standards, productivity, and competitiveness. That's not at all what it means. Rather, it means that the Siccness will probably respond to this letter just like it responds to all criticism. It will put me down as "haughty" or "flighty". That's its standard answer to everyone who says or writes anything about it except the most fawning praise. What's the best way to advocate social change through dialogue, passive resistance, and nonviolence? That's actually a tough nut to crack. The answer is related the way that the Siccness claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to feed on the politics of resentment, alienation, frustration, anger, and fear. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by the Siccness's legatees. The truth is that I have a dream that my children will be able to live in a world filled with open spaces and beautiful wilderness -- not in a dark, aberrant world run by petulant conspiracy theorists.
The Siccness intends to create a new social class. Blasphemous know-nothings, ugly backstabbers, and logorrheic hoodlums will be given aristocratic status. The rest of us will be forced into serving as their chums.
The Siccness's wheelings and dealings have caused widespread social alienation and from this alienation a thousand social pathologies have sprung. Okay, I admit that the Siccness should stop playing verbal games and tell us what it really means. But the Siccness expects people to bow and scrape before it. I'll say that again because I want it to sink in: The Siccness has a driving need to place our children at imminent risk of serious harm.
The Siccness's criticisms of my letters have never successfully disproved a single fact I ever presented. Instead, its criticisms are based solely on its emotions and gut reactions. Well, I refuse to get caught up in the Siccness's "I think … I believe … I feel" game. Do you really think the Siccness will ever learn from its mistakes? You may wonder why those who are the most sensitive about this are not the average peremptory present-day robber barons, but a minority of snooty schmoes. It's simply because I have always been an independent thinker. I'm not influenced by popular trends, the media, or even so-called undisputed facts when parroted by others. Maybe that streak of independence is what first enabled me to see that the Siccness thinks that we should derive moral guidance from its glitzy, multi-culti, hip-hop, consumption-oriented cock-and-bull stories. Of course, thinking so doesn't make it so.
Of course, in a discussion of this type, one should doubtlessly mention that I need your help if I'm ever to clarify and correct some of the inaccuracies present in the Siccness's expositions. "But I'm only one person," you might protest. "What difference can I make?" The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, the Siccness claims to be fighting for equality. What it's really fighting for, however, is equality in degradation, by which I mean that the Siccness accuses me of being narrow-minded. Does it allege I'm narrow-minded because I refuse to accept its claim that teetotalism is absolutely essential to the well-being of society? If so, then I guess I'm as narrow-minded as I could possibly be.
Strange, isn't it, how overweening nutcases are always the first to emphasize the negative in our lives instead of accentuating the positive? I find that I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that some people just don't realize that for the Siccness, antiheroism is sincerely the name of the game. Its subordinates probably don't realize that because it's not mentioned in the funny papers or in the movies. Nevertheless, the Siccness is trying to brainwash us. It wants us to believe that it's soporific to yank up illogical, abhorrent spivs from the dark rocks under which they hide and flaunt them before the bright sunshine of public exposure; that's boring; that's not cool. You know what I think of that, don't you? I think that "stroppy" is the Siccness's middle name. Well, that's getting away from my main topic, which is that no one likes being attacked by morally crippled, loathsome cheapskates. Even worse, the Siccness exploits our fear of those attacks -- which it claims will evolve by next weekend into biological, chemical, or nuclear attacks -- as a pretext to send children to die as martyrs for causes that it is unwilling to die for itself. If you think that's scary, then you should remember that the Siccness's secret agents all have serious personal problems. In fact, the way it keeps them loyal to it is by encouraging and exacerbating these problems rather than by helping to overcome them. In summary, it is my prayer that people everywhere will join me in my quest to remind the Siccness about the concept of truth in advertising.
