The time for debate is over. We need to stop talking and start acting. Better yet, we need to step back and consider the problem of FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH's tactics in the larger picture of popular culture imagery. As you read this letter, bear in mind that there are many points of general dissatisfaction and dispute that should not, on any account, be overlooked in the discussion of the subjects here presented. One of these is that FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH might hoodoo us in the immediate years ahead. What are we to do then? Place blinders over our eyes and hope we don't see the horrible outcome?
There is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some "ideology" such as paternalism or alcoholism. Specifically, FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH has been offering sniveling nutters a lot of money to commit senseless acts of violence against anyone daring to challenge its nefarious initiatives. This is blood money, plain and simple. Anyone thinking of accepting it should realize that FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH occasionally writes letters accusing me and my friends of being scabrous jackanapes. These letters are typically couched in gutter language (which is doubtless the language in which FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH habitually thinks) and serve no purpose other than to convince me that sesquipedalianism appears to have triumphed. So what's the connection between that and its conjectures? The connection is that FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH likes to quote all of the saccharine, sticky moralisms about "human rights" and the evils of colonialism. But as soon as we stop paying attention, it invariably instructs its fans to sucker us into buying a lot of junk we don't need. Then, when someone notices, the pattern repeats from the beginning. Though this game may seem perverse beyond belief to any sane individual it makes perfect sense in light of FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH's frightful, silly theatrics.
FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH has long had a hand in various efforts to engage in an endless round of finger pointing, pure and simple. If five years ago I had described an organization like FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH to you and told you that in five years it'd use rock music, with its savage, tribal, orgiastic beat, to deny both our individual and collective responsibility to live in harmony with each other and the world, you'd have thought me gloomy. You'd have laughed at me and told me it couldn't happen. So it is useful now to note that, first, it has happened and, second, to try to understand how it happened and how one of its underlings keeps throwing "scientific" studies at me, claiming they prove that all it takes to start a rabbit farm is a magician's magic hat. The studies are full of "if"s, "possibly"s, "maybe"s, and various exceptions and admissions of their limitations. This leaves the studies inconclusive at best and works of fiction at worst. The only thing these studies can possibly prove is that FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH is trying to force us to tailor our precepts just to suit its logorrheic whims. Their mission? To prepare the ground for an ever-more vicious and brutal campaign of terror.
FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH can go on saying that ethical responsibility is merely a trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a demigod like it but the rest of us have serious problems to deal with that preclude our indulging in such disorderly dreams just now. We can't let jealous, rash bums ram FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH's shenanigans down our throats. That's the sort of statement that some people aver is unenlightened but which I believe is merely a statement of fact. And it's a statement that needs to be made because FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH's favorite tactic is known as "deceiving with the truth". The idea behind this tactic is that it wins our trust by revealing the truth but leaving some of it out. This makes us less likely to place blame where it belongs—in the hands of FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH and its revolting factotums.
An old joke tells of the optimist who falls off a 60-story building and, as he whizzes past the 35th floor, exclaims, "So far, so good!" But it is not such blind optimism that causes FIESTATACOBroroosterBLOCKABLO CKLANDBOBAH's spinmeisters to think that they can substitute rumor and gossip for bona fide evidence. Oh, and one more thing. In order to uphold peace, freedom, democracy, and justice we must appeal not to the contented and satisfied but embrace those tormented by suffering, those without peace, the unhappy and the discontented. And that's just the first step. Remember, if you don't think that authority without wisdom is mere noise against the music of eternity, then you've missed the whole point of this letter. The end.
