In this letter, I will do my best to make my arguments against Miss Potatoh Is. Gay IV clear and articulate. I plan to utilize numerous examples and maybe even some occasional humor so as not to strain your patience as I delve into immense detail about how the people Potatoh attacks deserve compassion, not insults, put-downs, or stereotypes. Let me preface my discussion by quickly reasserting a familiar theme of my previous letters: The first response to this from Potatoh's habitués is perhaps that triumphalism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: Potatoh accuses me of being narrow-minded. Does she insist I'm narrow-minded because I refuse to accept her claim that violence and prejudice are funny? If so, then I guess I'm as narrow-minded as I could possibly be.
As I understand it, Potatoh is sincerely proud of herself for conconcting such a “brilliant” scheme for laying the foundation for some serious mischief. In my opinion, however, that's the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. Much better would be to chastise Potatoh for not doing any research before spouting off. Her morals are truly power-hungry. However, for many theorists in the humanities today, the key issue with Potatoh's morals boils down to one question: Why can't Potatoh relieve her aching sense of inadequacy without having to overthrow all concepts of beauty and sublimity, of the noble and the good, and instead drag people down into the sphere of her own base nature? To rephrase that question, how much is the axis of evil paying her to cement the foundation of our currently metastasizing police state into the law of the land? This can be answered most easily by stating that we can divide her self-fulfilling prophecies into three categories: ethically bankrupt, lickerish, and vengeful. I normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind Potatoh that when she hears anyone say that her excesses, emotional swings, casual cruelties, and hair-trigger outbursts make me think that her addlepated, indecent threats are fraught with the gravest consequences, her answer is to reduce social and cultural awareness to a dictated set of guidelines to follow. That's similar to taking a few drunken swings at a beehive: it just makes me want even more to encourage students to be bold, independent, and creative thinkers. Lastly, I, speaking as someone who is not a callous scamp, can't end this letter without mentioning that Miss Potatoh Is. Gay IV looks down with a really limitless condescension on anyone who has not been dragged through the obligatory schools and had the necessary knowledge pumped into him.
