The prerequisite to understanding this letter is to have encountered some of Greg's conjectures and to have realized how scummy they are. I'm sure that everyone reading this is already familiar with Greg's libidinous magic-bullet explanations so I'll spare you the sordid details. Instead, I'll simply summarize with the comment that if Greg bites me I will definitely bite back. I'd like very much to respond to his claim that a book of his writings would be a good addition to the Bible. Unfortunately, taking into account Greg's background, education, and intelligence, I am quite sure that Greg would not be able to understand my response. Hence, let me say simply this: Greg has yet to acknowledge the preternatural wickedness of the blood flowing through his veins. That should serve as the final, ultimate, irrefutable proof that he complains a lot. What's ironic, though, is that he hasn't made even a single concrete suggestion for improvement or identified a single problem with the system as it exists today.
Clearly, I act based on what I think is right, not who I think is right. That's why I try always to feed the starving, house the homeless, cure the sick, and still find wonder and awe in the sunrise and the moonlight. It's also why I say that if his overweening-to-the-core warnings became more widespread, it would spell the ruination of this country. I'm merely suggesting that it's easy for armchair philosophers to theorize about Greg and about hypothetical solutions to our Greg problem. It's an entirely more difficult matter, however, when one considers that he obsesses not with what he can do for this country but with what he can extract from it. That's pretty transparent. What's not so transparent is the answer to the following question: Why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that he tends to forget what matters most? A clue might be that we should agree on definitions before saying anything further about his hateful publications. For starters, let's say that "Bulverism" is "that which makes Greg yearn to cast the world into nuclear holocaust."
Greg truly believes that he is as innocent as a newborn lamb. It is just such misinformed megalomania, vulgar egoism, and intellectual aberrancy that stirs Greg to make bribery legal and part of business as usual. Mind you, his lies come in many forms. Some of his lies are in the form of pleas. Others are in the form of hastily mounted campaigns. Still more are in the form of folksy posturing and pretended concern and compassion. Is there a chance that Greg isn't venom-spouting, primitive, and shallow? From what I've seen, I doubt it.
Call me a cynic, but this makes me fearful that I might someday find myself in the crosshairs of Greg's peremptory plaints. (To be honest, though, it wouldn't be the first time.) The fault, dear Greg, is not in your stars but in yourself. I do not find stances that are psychotic, scabrous, and thrasonical to be "funny". Maybe I lack a sense of humor but maybe the justification he gave for forcing me to become the target of prejudice, ridicule, discrimination, and physical violence was one of the most noisome justifications I've ever heard. It was so noisome, in fact, that I will not repeat it here. Even without hearing the details you can still see my point quite clearly: I am tired of hearing or reading that Greg should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury. You know that that is simply not true.
Greg undoubtedly believes that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day. Unfortunately for him, that's all in his imagination. Greg needs to get out of that fictional world and get back to reality, where people can see that he appears to have found a new tool to use to help him subvert existing lines of power and information. That tool is prætorianism, and if you watch him wield it you'll sincerely see why he is guilty of at least one criminal offense. In addition, Greg frequently exhibits less formal criminal behavior such as deliberate and even gleeful cruelty, explosive behavior, and a burning desire to trample into the mud all that is fine and noble and beautiful. When I first encountered Greg's orations, all I could think of was, "Greg obscures the true meaning of his mind games with propaganda and fancy talk."
It has been said that it's really hard to take someone as semi-intelligible as Greg very seriously. I, in turn, think that Greg promises his understrappers that as soon as he's finished breaking down our communities, they'll all become rich beyond their wildest dreams. There's an obvious analogy here to the way that vultures eat a cadaver and from its rottenness insects and worms suck their food. The point is that Greg claims that the sky is falling. Predictably, he cites no hard data for that claim. This is because no such data exist.
In any case, there is something in the way of "natural law" that can be stated awkwardly as follows: "Greg's lickspittles are merely liars with charisma." Please do not quote me on that. Instead, work it into a better natural law and enunciate it in clearer and more concise terms. It is immaterial who is credited with the words; the objective is to open minds instead of closing them.
After all, I, for one, profess that there are in fact many people who possess the intelligence, wisdom, talent, and ability to carry out the famous French admonition, ecrasez l'infame!, against Greg's cock-and-bull stories. My goal is to locate those people and encourage them to help me halt the adulation heaped upon sniffish authoritarians. The purpose of this letter is far greater than to prove to you how rash and spineless Greg has become. The purpose of this letter is to get you to start thinking for yourself, to start thinking about how you might say, "Education is vitiated by his crotchets." Fine, I agree. But I have a plan to make this world a better place in which to live. I call this plan "Operation comment on Greg's editorials". (Granted, I need a shorter, catchier name, but that one will do for now.) My plan's underlying motif is that at no time in the past did belligerent pudibund-types shamble through the streets of cities, demanding rights they imagine some supernatural power has bestowed upon them.
Greg wants you to believe that black is white and night is day. You should be wary of such claims. Be aware! Be skeptical! Think! Do not be diverted, deceived, or mesmerized by Greg's coldhearted slogans.
I fully intend to tear down Greg's fortress of conformism. I will spare no labor in doing this and reckon no labor lost that brings me toward this mark. Even so, I despise everything about Greg. I despise Greg's attempts to treat people like duplicitous monomaniacs. I despise how he insists that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. Most of all, I despise his complete obliviousness to the fact that he has tried making my blood curdle. He has also tried plaguing our minds. Why does Greg do such things? I've never really gotten a clear and honest answer to that question from Greg. But what is clear is that the crux of the issue is that this is no time to be self-serving and no time to be pertinacious. I always catch hell whenever I say something like that so let me assure you that he is squarely in favor of Stalinism and its propensity to implement a fatuitous parody of justice called "Greg-ism". This is so typical of him: he condemns bigotry and injustice except when it benefits him personally. To recap the main points made in this letter: 1) I really reject Greg's demands, 2) Greg has let his stingy feelings obscure reality, and 3) Greg's feigned sanctity and godliness serve to disengage the critical reasoning faculties of his critics, leading them to accept Greg's story that solecism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions.
tl:dr; Greg, gtho.
