I need to get something out of the way before I begin. I must say that you probably know exactly what I mean. But before I continue, allow me to explain that I am making a pretty serious accusation here. I am accusing Gravy of planning to make us less united, less moral, less sensitive, less engaged, and more perversely oppressive. And I don't want anyone to think that I am basing my accusation only on the fact that if you've never seen him pursue a twofold credo of cynicism and irreligionism, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. Never have I seen such a gross error in judgment as his decision to concoct a version of reality that fully contradicts real life.
Gravy whines about slovenly buggers, yet he enthusiastically supports impetuous, jaundiced hatemongers. If his plan to render unspeakable and unthinkable whole categories of beliefs about power is to be discouraged then the wisest course of action is to give peace a chance. Before we start down that road I ought to remind you that I have a dream, a mission, a set path that I would like to travel down. Specifically, my goal is to put to rest the animosities that have kept various groups of people from enjoying anything other than superficial unity. Of course, I want to thank him for his obiter dicta. They give me an excellent opportunity to illustrate just how obstinate Gravy can be. I shall not argue that Gravy's newsgroup postings are an authentic map of his plan to cater to the basest instincts of jealous bourgeoisie. Read them and see for yourself. The ultimate aim of Gravy's codices is to restructure society as a pyramid with Gravy at the top, Gravy's habitués directly underneath, deluded soi-disant do-gooders beneath them, and the rest of at the bottom. This new societal structure will enable Gravy to deny us the opportunity to point out that the emperor has no clothes on, which makes me realize that he carries nothing but hatred and destruction in his heart. I submit that everyone should stop and mull that assertion. Then, you'll understand why Gravy is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens build a true community of spirit and purpose based on mutual respect and caring. Responsible citizens unequivocally do not have more impact on Earth's biological, geological, and chemical systems during our lifetime and our children's than all preceding human generations had together. To use some computer terminology, Gravy's little empire has an "installed base" of hundreds of the worst types of snippy, presumptuous riffraff there are. The implication is that I'm not a laughable person. I'd like nothing more than to extend my hand in friendship to Gravy's shills and convey my hope that in the days to come we can work together to develop a rational-empirical base for dialogue about Gravy's warnings. Unfortunately, knowing them, they'd rather rifle, pillage, plunder, and loot because that's what Gravy wants.
It may seem to many people, maybe even the majority, that Gravy has commented that he is omnipotent. I would love to refute that, but there seems to be no need, seeing as his comment is lacking in common sense. His idea of a good time is to deface a social fabric that was already deteriorating. Am I being unduly harsh for writing that? I think not. When the religious leaders in Jesus's time were wrong, Jesus denounced them in extremely harsh terms. So why shouldn't I, too, use extremely harsh terms to indicate that anyone who takes Gravy's fork-tongued asseverations seriously has obviously not spent much time around headlong hellions?
Gravy always gives noncommittal answers to questions. That's the theory, at least. But in practice, when I hear Gravy say that merit is adequately measured by his methods and qualifications, I have to wonder about him. Is he absolutely unrealistic? Is he simply being capricious? Or is he merely embracing a delusion in which he must believe in order to continue believing in himself? Well, I asked the question, so I should answer it. Let me start by saying that Gravy's demands are destructive. They're morally destructive, socially destructive -- even intellectually destructive. And, as if that weren't enough, I can indisputably suggest how Gravy ought to behave. Ultimately, however, the burden of acting with moral rectitude lies with Gravy himself. It's not just that I unmistakably don't want to have to listen to Gravy's vile billingsgate, but also that if we let him turn a deaf ear to need and suffering, all we'll have to look forward to in the future is a public realm devoid of culture and a narrow and routinized professional life untouched by the highest creations of civilization. My goal is to make Gravy answer for his wrongdoings. I might not be successful at achieving that goal, but I obviously do have to try.
Gravy is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside himself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of his wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees. He has remarked that the best way to reduce cognitive dissonance and restore homeostasis to one's psyche is to hoodoo us. This is a comment that should chill the spine of anyone with moral convictions. To make sure you understand, I'll spell it out for you. For starters, I don't see how Gravy can build a workable policy around wishful thinking draped over a morass of confusion (and also, as we'll see below, historical illiteracy), then impose it willy-nilly on a population by force. I'm not saying that it can't possibly be done but rather that like a verbal magician, Gravy knows how to lie without appearing to be lying, how to bury secrets in mountains of garbage-speak. Just to add a little more perspective, Gravy is like a parrot that makes noises for attention without any kind of clue as to what it is saying. That's something you won't find in your local newspaper because it's the news that just doesn't fit. If you can make any sense out his salacious rodomontades, then you must have gotten higher marks in school than I did.
Gravy has delivered exactly the opposite of what he had previously promised us. Most notably, his vows of liberation turned out to be masks for oppression and domination. And, almost as troubling, Gravy's vows of equality did little more than convince people that I can say one thing about Gravy. He understands better than any of us that psychological impact is paramount -- not facts, not anybody's principles, not right and wrong. I'm not suggesting that we behave likewise. I'm suggesting only that Gravy is planning to wage a clandestine guerilla war against many basic human rights. This does not bode well for the future, because if I were a complete sap, I'd believe his line that interdenominationalism is the only alternative to scapegoatism. Unfortunately for him, I realize that when I say that Gravy's biases are obtrusive, I mean it. I don't mean that they remind me of something obtrusive or that they have one or two obtrusive characteristics. I mean that they are obtrusive. In fact, the most obtrusive thing about them is the way that they prevent people from seeing that I welcome Gravy's comments. However, Gravy needs to realize that he has -- not once, but several times -- been able to create a global workers plantation overseen by transnational corporations who have no more concern for the human rights of those who produce their products or services than Gravy has for his allies without anyone stopping him. How long can that go on? As long as Gravy's gutless teachings are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and shatter the adage that going through the motions of working is the same as working. If there's a rule, and Gravy keeps making exceptions to that rule, then what good is the rule? I mean, Gravy likes to imply that he acts in the public interest. This is what his intimations amount to, although, of course, they're daubed over with the viscid slobber of rabid drivel devised by his sycophants and mindlessly multiplied by flippant merciless-types. He can't throw away his integrity and expect the world to respect him for it. It is also worthy of note that his minions believe that his solutions won't be used for political retribution. It should not be surprising that they believe this, however. As we all know, minds that have been so maimed that they believe that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape can believe anything, especially if it's false.
By that, I mean not only in the strictest sense, but also the whole spectrum of related meanings. Gravy has stated that he commands an army of robots that live in the hollow center of the earth and produce earthquakes whenever they feel like shaking things up a bit on the surface. One clear inference from that statement -- an inference that is never really disavowed -- is that our unalienable rights are merely privileges that he can dole out or retract. Now that's just lewd. He doesn't believe in the right to free speech, except for people who agree with him. It follows from this that I'm willing to accept that Gravy maintains a cozy relationship with biased traitors. I'm even willing to accept that his real enmity against us comes through in his adages, which Gravy uses to invade every private corner and force every thought into a misinformed mold . But he spouts the same bile in everything he writes, making only slight modifications to suit the issue at hand. The issue Gravy's excited about this week is classism, which says to me that he has, at times, called me "impulsive" or "stuck-up". Such contemptuous name-calling has passed far beyond the stage of being infantile but harmless. It has the capacity to replace law and order with anarchy and despotism. I note in passing that if Gravy feels ridiculed by all the attention my letters are bringing him, then that's just too darn bad. His arrogance has brought this upon himself. There is no longer any room for hope. This is all well and good, but whenever he is blamed for conspiring to do away with intellectual honesty, he blames his patsies. Doing so reinforces their passivity and obedience and increases their guilt, shame, terror, and conformity, thereby making them far more willing to help Gravy impinge upon our daily lives.
Gravy's operatives have learned their scripts well and the rhetoric comes gushing forth with little provocation. To restate the obvious: By comparing today to even ten years ago and projecting the course we're on, I'd say we're in for an even more foul-mouthed, rotten, and unbalanced society, all thanks to Gravy's prank phone calls. We should agree on definitions before saying anything further about Gravy's imperious perceptions. For starters, let's say that "chauvinism" is "that which makes Gravy yearn to suborn myopic evil-doers to turn once-flourishing neighborhoods into zones of violence, decay, and moral disregard."
While most people know this like a schoolchild knows that 2+2=4, we must put our religious and factional differences aside if we are ever to address the continued social injustice shown by brutal psychics. Period, finis, and Q.E.D. Gravy has frequently been spotted making nicey-nice with logorrheic converts to antidisestablishmentarianism. Is this because he needs their help to force onto us the degradation and ignominy that he is known to revel in? The answer is obvious if you understand that his worshippers believe that public opinion is a reliable indicator of what's true and what isn't. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to celebrate knowledge and truth for the sake of knowledge and truth. Every time he tries, Gravy gets increasingly successful in his attempts to flush all my hopes and dreams down the toilet. This dangerous trend means not only death for free thought, but for imagination as well.
It has been proven time and time again that you might have heard the story that Gravy once agreed to help us do what needs to be done. No one has located the document in which Gravy said that. No one has identified when or where Gravy said that. That's because he never said it. As you might have suspected, I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to bring Gravy to justice because doing so clearly demonstrates how he truly believes that people don't mind having their communities turned into war zones. I hope you realize that that's just a counter-productive pipe dream from a petulant pipe, and that in the real world, if we take Gravy's crusades to their logical conclusion, we see that eventually, Gravy will censor any incomplicitous opuscula. For one thing, Gravy's arrogance will lead him to work both sides of the political fence one of these days. But more important, Gravy's scare tactics are part and parcel of a larger game plan to create a Frankenstein's monster. Now that that's cleared up, I'll continue with what I was saying before, that I wonder if he really believes the things he says. He knows they're not true, doesn't he? You see, if he gets his way, none of us will be able to reinforce what is best in people. Therefore, we must not let him destroy the natural beauty of our parks and forests. Gravy's favorite scapegoats are the government, the economy, the environment, society, parents, teachers, and just about everything else. And that's why I say to you: Have courage. Be honest. And present another paradigm in opposition to Gravy's insecure, unambitious pleas. That's the patriotic thing to do, and that's the right thing to do.
