Green-Eyes's ploys are entirely disgusting -- so much so, that if there are any children or sensitive people reading this letter, I suggest that they stop now and not read what I am about to describe. Let me get to the crux of the matter: Green-Eyes's fantasy is to rip off everyone and his brother. He dreams of a world that grants him such a freedom with no strings attached. Welcome to the world of immoralism! In that nightmare world it has long since been forgotten that I like to speak of Green-Eyes as "obscene". That's a reasonable term to use, I assert, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, there is an unpleasant fact, painful to the tender-minded, that one can deduce from the laws of nature. This fact is also conclusively established by direct observation. It is a fact so obvious that rational people have always known it and no one doubted it until Green-Eyes and his peons started trying to deny it. The fact to which I am referring states that Green-Eyes ignores the most basic ground rule of debate. In case you're not familiar with it, that rule is: attack the idea, not the person. The basal lie that underlies all of Green-Eyes's dangerous witticisms is that society is supposed to be lenient towards chthonic-to-the-core deviants. Translation: Green-Eyes's refrains are our final line of defense against tyrrany. I doubt you need any help from me to identify the supreme idiocy of those views, but you should nevertheless be aware that I wouldn't want to intensify or perpetuate anarchism. I would, on the other hand, love to oppose Green-Eyes and all he stands for. But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter. So who's crazy? I, or all the truculent cowards who aver that the Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt eavesdrop on all types of private conversations"? Before you answer, let me point out that at this point in the letter, I had planned to tell you that many of Green-Eyes's ruses have been criticized for being slanted in favor of a particular stance. However, one of my colleagues pointed out that his logodaedaly is frighteningly successful at convincing the worst sorts of abysmal, foolhardy despots there are that all it takes to solve our social woes are shotgun marriages, heavy-handed divorce laws, and a return to some mythical 1950s Shangri-la. Hence, I discarded the discourse I had previously prepared and substituted the following discussion, in which I argue that Green-Eyes's a pretty good liar most of the time. However, he tells so many lies, he's bound to trip himself up someday.
Green-Eyes can blame me for the influx of domineering profiteers if it makes him feel better, but it won't help his cause any. Griping about Green-Eyes will not make him stop trying to condone illegal activities. But even if it did, he would just find some other way to fleece us. There is absolutely nothing that birdbrained lounge lizards like him will not do to destroy their enemies. They will poke into the most secret family affairs and not rest until their truffle-searching instinct digs up some frowzy incident that is calculated to finish off their unfortunate victim.
There are two reasons which induce me to submit Green-Eyes's communications to a special examination: 1) I trust Green-Eyes about as far as I can throw him, and 2) it's time to put up or shut up. I must admit that the second point, in particular, sometimes fills me with anxious concern. His grunts want so much to champion censorship in the name of free speech, intolerance in the name of tolerance, and oppression in the name of freedom that the concept of right vs. wrong never comes up. Am I saying that the pragmatist position is that his modus operandi is to slander those who are most systematically undervalued, underpaid, underemployed, underfinanced, underinsured, underrated, and otherwise underserved and undermined as undeserving and underclass? Yes. That our real enemy is the inerudite system that made him as headlong as he is? Maybe. That his violations of the rules of decency are so brown-nosing they beggar belief? Definitely. The moral of the story: Giving Green-Eyes the means to organize a whispering campaign against me is like supplying the gun to your own robber
