Why does almost every post here seem to be more about flaming, grandstanding, and bullheaded dim-wittedness and less about open-minded exchanges of thoughts and ideas?  Maybe the next topic should be whether or not you guys even understand what Philosophy is really about.

I feel that it is my duty to drive off and disperse the oleaginous, ophidian usurers who use "pressure tactics"—that's a euphemism for "torture"—to coerce ordinary people into recovering the dead past by annihilating the living present. Let me get to the crux of the matter: The Philosophy Board Leaders attracts delirious publishers of hate literature to its coalition of raving showboaters and randy parasites by telling them that the government (and perhaps it itself) should have sweeping powers to arrest and hold people indefinitely on flimsy grounds. I suppose the people to whom it tells such things just want to believe lies that make them feel intellectually and spiritually superior to others. Whether or not that's the case, The Philosophy Board Leaders has two imperatives. The first is to hurt people's feelings. The second imperative is to bribe the parasitic with the earnings of the productive.

Many people are convinced that The Philosophy Board Leaders uses its victim status as a kind of magic incantation to stifle debate, disparage critical analysis, and persuade us that the Universe belongs to it by right. I can't comment on that, but I can say that The Philosophy Board Leaders's viewpoints are a spiritual syphilis that has now reached the tertiary stage, paresis and insanity. How much more illumination does that fact need before The Philosophy Board Leaders can grasp it? Assuming the answer is "a substantial amount", let me point out that The Philosophy Board Leaders's jibes are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're completely inaniloquent, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, I'm willing to accept that The Philosophy Board Leaders uses the word "literally" when it means "metaphorically". I'm even willing to accept that it is perfectly willing to show its embarrassingly poor reasoning and warped ethics in print. But I have a message for it. My message is that, for the good of us all, it should never plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos. It should never even try to do such an obnoxious thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never" I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that one of the things I find quite interesting is listening to other people's takes on things. For instance, I recently overheard some folks remark that The Philosophy Board Leaders would have us believe that the rigors that its victims have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement. That, of course, is nonsense, total nonsense. But The Philosophy Board Leaders is surrounded by reprehensible vandals who parrot the same nonsense, which is why its recourse to antinomianism as a tactical modality for waging low-intensity warfare has been successful. I'm not saying that facetiously; as people who know me unequivocally realize, I always mean what I say and say what I mean. They also realize that The Philosophy Board Leaders's accusations are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, The Philosophy Board Leaders denies ever having tried to pander to our worst fears. I assume it's merely trying to cover its posterior, as the truth is that we need to settle our disputes with rational discussion—not by moral huffing and puffing. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise.

The Philosophy Board Leaders has only one goal: to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. Is The Philosophy Board Leaders a pious organization? Yes, although its "piety" unerringly leads it to whichever dogma is best for business. Speaking of which, The Philosophy Board Leaders argues that I am biased for wanting to make plans and carry them out. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.

If we take The Philosophy Board Leaders's whinges to their logical conclusion, we see that some day, The Philosophy Board Leaders will blow the whole situation way out of proportion. The Philosophy Board Leaders's problem is that it is thinking in a linear versus a configurational framework. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: "Within the deleterious milieu of credentialism exists the opportunity for The Philosophy Board Leaders to overthrow the government and eliminate the money system." Will obtrusive suborners of perjury ever force The Philosophy Board Leaders into deserved bankruptcy? Don't bet on it. The Philosophy Board Leaders has been known to say that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. Let me interpret that for you. The Philosophy Board Leaders is really saying that it intends to sacrifice children on the twin altars of officialism and greed eventually. It obviously can't come out and say it that way because too many people would realize that it would have you believe that it understands the difference between civilization and savagery. I have already, for the present at least, sufficiently answered the climatic part of this proposition and have only to add that if The Philosophy Board Leaders were as bright as it thinks it is, it'd know that its lies come in many forms. Some of its lies are in the form of memoranda. Others are in the form of tricks. Still more are in the form of folksy posturing and pretended concern and compassion.

The Philosophy Board Leaders's scare tactics are nothing shy of a slap in the face to all those who have fought and fallen in war for this country. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, The Philosophy Board Leaders has frequently been spotted making nicey-nice with otiose criminal masterminds. Is this because it needs their help to fund a vast web of brainless, short-sighted demoniacs, pigheaded, shrewish goofballs, and insensitive nitwits? Many people consider that question irrelevant on the grounds that some people contend that The Philosophy Board Leaders is wallowing in the sty of irrationalism. Others claim that The Philosophy Board Leaders is nuttier than squirrel dung. In the interest of clearing up the confusion I'll make the following observation: The Philosophy Board Leaders is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every counterproductive ideology finds expression in The Philosophy Board Leaders.

There are two reasons that induce me to submit The Philosophy Board Leaders's pronouncements to a special examination: 1) The Philosophy Board Leaders has lost contact with reality, and 2) The Philosophy Board Leaders's foot soldiers are capable of little else but hating and lying, even to each other. I must admit that the second point in particular sometimes fills me with anxious concern. We must face the fact that The Philosophy Board Leaders demands obeisance from its satraps. Then, once they prove their loyalty, The Philosophy Board Leaders forces them to spit in the face of propriety.

Rather than persuade you myself that a number of officious ogres have succumbed to excessive drug use, alcoholism, and other addictive behavior indicating maladaptive mechanisms, I decided to gather input from various independent observers: teachers, farmers, shopkeepers, doctors, and so forth. I've tried to get balanced and reasonably accurate views about The Philosophy Board Leaders's insecure, testy musings. For instance, a policeman I interviewed pointed out how it's only rational to think, "The most believable explanation for many of the destructive trends in politics, economics, morality, and other key areas over the past two years is that a secretive, incredibly untoward, well-organized movement has been striving relentlessly to shame my name". The destruction of the Tower of Babel, be it a literal truth, an allegory, or a mere story based upon cultural archetypes, illustrates this truth plainly.

Forgive me if I ramble; I'm really upset, as I think you can tell. The Philosophy Board Leaders doesn't have any principles, or if it does, it puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. Rhetoric aside, The Philosophy Board Leaders claims that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to protect undeserved privilege. Well, I beg to differ. After being called a lackluster wing nut a hundred times or so by The Philosophy Board Leaders and its attendants, I have reached the conclusion that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness The Philosophy Board Leaders is mongering. We need to step back and consider the problem of The Philosophy Board Leaders's equivocations in the larger picture of popular culture imagery.

I won't lie to you; if I had to choose between chopping onions and helping The Philosophy Board Leaders open the gates of Hell, I'd be in the kitchen in an instant. Although both alternatives make me cry, the deciding factor for me is that The Philosophy Board Leaders's premise (that its blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur) is its morality disguised as pretended neutrality. The Philosophy Board Leaders uses this disguised morality to support its zingers, thereby making its argument self-refuting. I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with The Philosophy Board Leaders. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I open students' eyes, minds, hearts, and souls to the world around them.

It may be obvious but should nonetheless be acknowledged that I have a plan to embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of pauperism. I call this plan "Operation balkanize The Philosophy Board Leaders's worthless entourage into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration". (Granted, I need a shorter, catchier name, but that one will do for now.) My plan's underlying motif is that The Philosophy Board Leaders has written volumes about how it's morally obligated to make a fetish of the virtues of flagitious quislingism. Don't believe a word of it, though. The truth is that it would have us believe that violence and prejudice are funny. To be honest, it has never actually said that explicitly, but if you follow its logic—what little there is—you'll see that this is its real point. Now that I've told you what I think, let me end this letter by stating that I, for one, fully intend to spread awareness of the overweening nature of The Philosophy Board Leaders's memoirs. Let The Philosophy Board Leaders tremble. And though the heavens fall, let there be justice.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

I feel that it is my duty to drive off and disperse the oleaginous, ophidian usurers who use "pressure tactics"—that's a euphemism for "torture"—to coerce ordinary people into recovering the dead past by annihilating the living present. Let me get to the crux of the matter: The Philosophy Board Leaders attracts delirious publishers of hate literature to its coalition of raving showboaters and randy parasites by telling them that the government (and perhaps it itself) should have sweeping powers to arrest and hold people indefinitely on flimsy grounds. I suppose the people to whom it tells such things just want to believe lies that make them feel intellectually and spiritually superior to others. Whether or not that's the case, The Philosophy Board Leaders has two imperatives. The first is to hurt people's feelings. The second imperative is to bribe the parasitic with the earnings of the productive.

Many people are convinced that The Philosophy Board Leaders uses its victim status as a kind of magic incantation to stifle debate, disparage critical analysis, and persuade us that the Universe belongs to it by right. I can't comment on that, but I can say that The Philosophy Board Leaders's viewpoints are a spiritual syphilis that has now reached the tertiary stage, paresis and insanity. How much more illumination does that fact need before The Philosophy Board Leaders can grasp it? Assuming the answer is "a substantial amount", let me point out that The Philosophy Board Leaders's jibes are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're completely inaniloquent, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, I'm willing to accept that The Philosophy Board Leaders uses the word "literally" when it means "metaphorically". I'm even willing to accept that it is perfectly willing to show its embarrassingly poor reasoning and warped ethics in print. But I have a message for it. My message is that, for the good of us all, it should never plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos. It should never even try to do such an obnoxious thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never" I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that one of the things I find quite interesting is listening to other people's takes on things. For instance, I recently overheard some folks remark that The Philosophy Board Leaders would have us believe that the rigors that its victims have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement. That, of course, is nonsense, total nonsense. But The Philosophy Board Leaders is surrounded by reprehensible vandals who parrot the same nonsense, which is why its recourse to antinomianism as a tactical modality for waging low-intensity warfare has been successful. I'm not saying that facetiously; as people who know me unequivocally realize, I always mean what I say and say what I mean. They also realize that The Philosophy Board Leaders's accusations are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, The Philosophy Board Leaders denies ever having tried to pander to our worst fears. I assume it's merely trying to cover its posterior, as the truth is that we need to settle our disputes with rational discussion—not by moral huffing and puffing. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise.

The Philosophy Board Leaders has only one goal: to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. Is The Philosophy Board Leaders a pious organization? Yes, although its "piety" unerringly leads it to whichever dogma is best for business. Speaking of which, The Philosophy Board Leaders argues that I am biased for wanting to make plans and carry them out. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.

If we take The Philosophy Board Leaders's whinges to their logical conclusion, we see that some day, The Philosophy Board Leaders will blow the whole situation way out of proportion. The Philosophy Board Leaders's problem is that it is thinking in a linear versus a configurational framework. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: "Within the deleterious milieu of credentialism exists the opportunity for The Philosophy Board Leaders to overthrow the government and eliminate the money system." Will obtrusive suborners of perjury ever force The Philosophy Board Leaders into deserved bankruptcy? Don't bet on it. The Philosophy Board Leaders has been known to say that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. Let me interpret that for you. The Philosophy Board Leaders is really saying that it intends to sacrifice children on the twin altars of officialism and greed eventually. It obviously can't come out and say it that way because too many people would realize that it would have you believe that it understands the difference between civilization and savagery. I have already, for the present at least, sufficiently answered the climatic part of this proposition and have only to add that if The Philosophy Board Leaders were as bright as it thinks it is, it'd know that its lies come in many forms. Some of its lies are in the form of memoranda. Others are in the form of tricks. Still more are in the form of folksy posturing and pretended concern and compassion.

The Philosophy Board Leaders's scare tactics are nothing shy of a slap in the face to all those who have fought and fallen in war for this country. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, The Philosophy Board Leaders has frequently been spotted making nicey-nice with otiose criminal masterminds. Is this because it needs their help to fund a vast web of brainless, short-sighted demoniacs, pigheaded, shrewish goofballs, and insensitive nitwits? Many people consider that question irrelevant on the grounds that some people contend that The Philosophy Board Leaders is wallowing in the sty of irrationalism. Others claim that The Philosophy Board Leaders is nuttier than squirrel dung. In the interest of clearing up the confusion I'll make the following observation: The Philosophy Board Leaders is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every counterproductive ideology finds expression in The Philosophy Board Leaders.

There are two reasons that induce me to submit The Philosophy Board Leaders's pronouncements to a special examination: 1) The Philosophy Board Leaders has lost contact with reality, and 2) The Philosophy Board Leaders's foot soldiers are capable of little else but hating and lying, even to each other. I must admit that the second point in particular sometimes fills me with anxious concern. We must face the fact that The Philosophy Board Leaders demands obeisance from its satraps. Then, once they prove their loyalty, The Philosophy Board Leaders forces them to spit in the face of propriety.

Rather than persuade you myself that a number of officious ogres have succumbed to excessive drug use, alcoholism, and other addictive behavior indicating maladaptive mechanisms, I decided to gather input from various independent observers: teachers, farmers, shopkeepers, doctors, and so forth. I've tried to get balanced and reasonably accurate views about The Philosophy Board Leaders's insecure, testy musings. For instance, a policeman I interviewed pointed out how it's only rational to think, "The most believable explanation for many of the destructive trends in politics, economics, morality, and other key areas over the past two years is that a secretive, incredibly untoward, well-organized movement has been striving relentlessly to shame my name". The destruction of the Tower of Babel, be it a literal truth, an allegory, or a mere story based upon cultural archetypes, illustrates this truth plainly.

Forgive me if I ramble; I'm really upset, as I think you can tell. The Philosophy Board Leaders doesn't have any principles, or if it does, it puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. Rhetoric aside, The Philosophy Board Leaders claims that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to protect undeserved privilege. Well, I beg to differ. After being called a lackluster wing nut a hundred times or so by The Philosophy Board Leaders and its attendants, I have reached the conclusion that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness The Philosophy Board Leaders is mongering. We need to step back and consider the problem of The Philosophy Board Leaders's equivocations in the larger picture of popular culture imagery.

I won't lie to you; if I had to choose between chopping onions and helping The Philosophy Board Leaders open the gates of Hell, I'd be in the kitchen in an instant. Although both alternatives make me cry, the deciding factor for me is that The Philosophy Board Leaders's premise (that its blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur) is its morality disguised as pretended neutrality. The Philosophy Board Leaders uses this disguised morality to support its zingers, thereby making its argument self-refuting. I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with The Philosophy Board Leaders. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I open students' eyes, minds, hearts, and souls to the world around them.

It may be obvious but should nonetheless be acknowledged that I have a plan to embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of pauperism. I call this plan "Operation balkanize The Philosophy Board Leaders's worthless entourage into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration". (Granted, I need a shorter, catchier name, but that one will do for now.) My plan's underlying motif is that The Philosophy Board Leaders has written volumes about how it's morally obligated to make a fetish of the virtues of flagitious quislingism. Don't believe a word of it, though. The truth is that it would have us believe that violence and prejudice are funny. To be honest, it has never actually said that explicitly, but if you follow its logic—what little there is—you'll see that this is its real point. Now that I've told you what I think, let me end this letter by stating that I, for one, fully intend to spread awareness of the overweening nature of The Philosophy Board Leaders's memoirs. Let The Philosophy Board Leaders tremble. And though the heavens fall, let there be justice.

Insecurity of person brings aggressiveness of beliefs. The bigger need you have to assert your view of the world as the "right" one by convincing others, the bigger is your need for control.

Let The Philosophy Board Leaders tremble. And though the heavens fall, let there be justice.
There is currently a lot of controversy about Mr. TStar The Tramp, Sr.'s imprecations, and I know that any letter on the subject will almost certainly cause someone to plague our minds. Still, Mr. Tramp should show some class. Wait! Before you dismiss me as vainglorious, hear me out.

Mr. Tramp would have us believe that he is the one who will lead us to our great shining future. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. Now the surprising news: He is utterly mistaken if he believes that his nemeses are aligned with very dark and malevolent fourth-dimensional aliens known as Draconians. Once you understand Mr. Tramp's casus belli, you have a responsibility to do something about them. To know, to understand, and not to act, is an egregious sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. It is the sin of letting Mr. Tramp recruit and encourage young people to mock, ridicule, deprecate, and objurgate people for their religious beliefs, just as older drug dealers use young kids to push drugs.

It must be pointed out over and over again to Mr. Tramp's faithfuls and, in a broader sense, to unstable exhibitionists that Mr. Tramp is thoroughly dangerous. We all are, to some extent, but he sets the curve. He would not hesitate to plant the seeds of militarism into the tabulae rasae of children's minds if he felt he could benefit from doing so. Mr. Tramp's allies claim to have no choice but to enslave us, suppress our freedom, regiment our lives, confiscate our property, and dictate our values. I wish there were some way to help these miserable, inhumane, stuporous hypochondriacs. They are outcasts, lost in a world they didn't make and don't understand. Anyhow, I guess I've run out of things to say, so let me just leave you with one parting wish: Together, may we suggest the kind of politics and policies that are needed to restore good sense to this important debate.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

Is this because it needs their help to fund a vast web of brainless, short-sighted demoniacs, pigheaded, shrewish goofballs, and insensitive nitwits? Many people consider that question irrelevant on the grounds that some people contend that The Philosophy Board Leaders is wallowing in the sty of irrationalism. Others claim that The Philosophy Board Leaders is nuttier than squirrel dung. In the interest of clearing up the confusion I'll make the following observation: The Philosophy Board Leaders is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every counterproductive ideology finds expression in The Philosophy Board Leaders.

There are two reasons that induce me to submit The Philosophy Board Leaders's pronouncements to a special examination: 1) The Philosophy Board Leaders has lost contact with reality, and 2) The Philosophy Board Leaders's foot soldiers are capable of little else but hating and lying, even to each other. I must admit that the second point in particular sometimes fills me with anxious concern. We must face the fact that The Philosophy Board Leaders demands obeisance from its satraps. Then, once they prove their loyalty, The Philosophy Board Leaders forces them to spit in the face of propriety.

Rather than persuade you myself that a number of officious ogres have succumbed to excessive drug use, alcoholism, and other addictive behavior indicating maladaptive mechanisms, I decided to gather input from various independent observers: teachers, farmers, shopkeepers, doctors, and so forth. I've tried to get balanced and reasonably accurate views about The Philosophy Board Leaders's insecure, testy musings. For instance, a policeman I interviewed pointed out how it's only rational to think, "The most believable explanation for many of the destructive trends in politics, economics, morality, and other key areas over the past two years is that a secretive, incredibly untoward, well-organized movement has been striving relentlessly to shame my name". The destruction of the Tower of Babel, be it a literal truth, an allegory, or a mere story based upon cultural archetypes, illustrates this truth plainly.

Forgive me if I ramble; I'm really upset, as I think you can tell. The Philosophy Board Leaders doesn't have any principles, or if it does, it puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. Rhetoric aside, The Philosophy Board Leaders claims that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to protect undeserved privilege. Well, I beg to differ. After being called a lackluster wing nut a hundred times or so by The Philosophy Board Leaders and its attendants, I have reached the conclusion that I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness The Philosophy Board Leaders is mongering. We need to step back and consider the problem of The Philosophy Board Leaders's equivocations in the larger picture of popular culture imagery.

I won't lie to you; if I had to choose between chopping onions and helping The Philosophy Board Leaders open the gates of Hell, I'd be in the kitchen in an instant. Although both alternatives make me cry, the deciding factor for me is that The Philosophy Board Leaders's premise (that its blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur) is its morality disguised as pretended neutrality. The Philosophy Board Leaders uses this disguised morality to support its zingers, thereby making its argument self-refuting. I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with The Philosophy Board Leaders. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I open students' eyes, minds, hearts, and souls to the world around them.

It may be obvious but should nonetheless be acknowledged that I have a plan to embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of pauperism. I call this plan "Operation balkanize The Philosophy Board Leaders's worthless entourage into an etiolated and sapless agglomeration". (Granted, I need a shorter, catchier name, but that one will do for now.) My plan's underlying motif is that The Philosophy Board Leaders has written volumes about how it's morally obligated to make a fetish of the virtues of flagitious quislingism. Don't believe a word of it, though. The truth is that it would have us believe that violence and prejudice are funny. To be honest, it has never actually said that explicitly, but if you follow its logic—what little there is—you'll see that this is its real point. Now that I've told you what I think, let me end this letter by stating that I, for one, fully intend to spread awareness of the overweening nature of The Philosophy Board Leaders's memoirs. Let The Philosophy Board Leaders tremble. And though the heavens fall, let there be justice.
There is currently a lot of controversy about Mr. TStar The Tramp, Sr.'s imprecations, and I know that any letter on the subject will almost certainly cause someone to plague our minds. Still, Mr. Tramp should show some class. Wait! Before you dismiss me as vainglorious, hear me out.

Mr. Tramp would have us believe that he is the one who will lead us to our great shining future. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. Now the surprising news: He is utterly mistaken if he believes that his nemeses are aligned with very dark and malevolent fourth-dimensional aliens known as Draconians. Once you understand Mr. Tramp's casus belli, you have a responsibility to do something about them. To know, to understand, and not to act, is an egregious sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. It is the sin of letting Mr. Tramp recruit and encourage young people to mock, ridicule, deprecate, and objurgate people for their religious beliefs, just as older drug dealers use young kids to push drugs.

It must be pointed out over and over again to Mr. Tramp's faithfuls and, in a broader sense, to unstable exhibitionists that Mr. Tramp is thoroughly dangerous. We all are, to some extent, but he sets the curve. He would not hesitate to plant the seeds of militarism into the tabulae rasae of children's minds if he felt he could benefit from doing so. Mr. Tramp's allies claim to have no choice but to enslave us, suppress our freedom, regiment our lives, confiscate our property, and dictate our values. I wish there were some way to help these miserable, inhumane, stuporous hypochondriacs. They are outcasts, lost in a world they didn't make and don't understand. Anyhow, I guess I've run out of things to say, so let me just leave you with one parting wish: Together, may we suggest the kind of politics and policies that are needed to restore good sense to this important debate.

I feel that it is my duty to drive off and disperse the oleaginous, ophidian usurers who use "pressure tactics"—that's a euphemism for "torture"—to coerce ordinary people into recovering the dead past by annihilating the living present. Let me get to the crux of the matter: The Philosophy Board Leaders attracts delirious publishers of hate literature to its coalition of raving showboaters and randy parasites by telling them that the government (and perhaps it itself) should have sweeping powers to arrest and hold people indefinitely on flimsy grounds. I suppose the people to whom it tells such things just want to believe lies that make them feel intellectually and spiritually superior to others. Whether or not that's the case, The Philosophy Board Leaders has two imperatives. The first is to hurt people's feelings. The second imperative is to bribe the parasitic with the earnings of the productive.

Many people are convinced that The Philosophy Board Leaders uses its victim status as a kind of magic incantation to stifle debate, disparage critical analysis, and persuade us that the Universe belongs to it by right. I can't comment on that, but I can say that The Philosophy Board Leaders's viewpoints are a spiritual syphilis that has now reached the tertiary stage, paresis and insanity. How much more illumination does that fact need before The Philosophy Board Leaders can grasp it? Assuming the answer is "a substantial amount", let me point out that The Philosophy Board Leaders's jibes are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're completely inaniloquent, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, I'm willing to accept that The Philosophy Board Leaders uses the word "literally" when it means "metaphorically". I'm even willing to accept that it is perfectly willing to show its embarrassingly poor reasoning and warped ethics in print. But I have a message for it. My message is that, for the good of us all, it should never plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos. It should never even try to do such an obnoxious thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never" I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that one of the things I find quite interesting is listening to other people's takes on things. For instance, I recently overheard some folks remark that The Philosophy Board Leaders would have us believe that the rigors that its victims have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement. That, of course, is nonsense, total nonsense. But The Philosophy Board Leaders is surrounded by reprehensible vandals who parrot the same nonsense, which is why its recourse to antinomianism as a tactical modality for waging low-intensity warfare has been successful. I'm not saying that facetiously; as people who know me unequivocally realize, I always mean what I say and say what I mean. They also realize that The Philosophy Board Leaders's accusations are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, The Philosophy Board Leaders denies ever having tried to pander to our worst fears. I assume it's merely trying to cover its posterior, as the truth is that we need to settle our disputes with rational discussion—not by moral huffing and puffing. I challenge it to move from its broad derogatory generalizations to specific instances to prove otherwise.

The Philosophy Board Leaders has only one goal: to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. Is The Philosophy Board Leaders a pious organization? Yes, although its "piety" unerringly leads it to whichever dogma is best for business. Speaking of which, The Philosophy Board Leaders argues that I am biased for wanting to make plans and carry them out. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago.

If we take The Philosophy Board Leaders's whinges to their logical conclusion, we see that some day, The Philosophy Board Leaders will blow the whole situation way out of proportion. The Philosophy Board Leaders's problem is that it is thinking in a linear versus a configurational framework. So please permit me to appropriate and paraphrase something I once heard: "Within the deleterious milieu of credentialism exists the opportunity for The Philosophy Board Leaders to overthrow the government and eliminate the money system." Will obtrusive suborners of perjury ever force The Philosophy Board Leaders into deserved bankruptcy? Don't bet on it. The Philosophy Board Leaders has been known to say that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. Let me interpret that for you. The Philosophy Board Leaders is really saying that it intends to sacrifice children on the twin altars of officialism and greed eventually. It obviously can't come out and say it that way because too many people would realize that it would have you believe that it understands the difference between civilization and savagery. I have already, for the present at least, sufficiently answered the climatic part of this proposition and have only to add that if The Philosophy Board Leaders were as bright as it thinks it is, it'd know that its lies come in many forms. Some of its lies are in the form of memoranda. Others are in the form of tricks. Still more are in the form of folksy posturing and pretended concern and compassion.

The Philosophy Board Leaders's scare tactics are nothing shy of a slap in the face to all those who have fought and fallen in war for this country. Or, to express that sentiment without all of the emotionally charged lingo, The Philosophy Board Leaders has frequently been spotted making nicey-nice with otiose criminal masterminds.

I feel I have been outclassed, outplayed, and out-maneuvered, and as such I resign.

I tip my hat to you, sir, though I must say that I believe all who have seen this abversibitory should be shocked, appalled, and feel revulsion on the deepest level. It must be said that I cannot express my true feeling through mere words, but I can try.

Well played, TStar.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.
