Re: The Ranting/Debate Thread
This letter is not a debate contest in which I convince you to agree with me or vice versa. This letter is concerned only with establishing the truth about Nunu. For complete details, I refer you to my forthcoming book on the subject. I shall here mention only a few random items that may be new or especially interesting to you. For instance, when I was a child my clergyman told me, "Nunu loves everybody so much, she wants to rip out the guts of everybody who doesn't love everybody as much as she does." If you think about it you'll see his point. As muddleheaded as her suggestions are, she's a pretty good liar most of the time. However, Nunu tells so many lies, she's bound to trip herself up someday.
Who is Nunu to say that the Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt smear and defame me"? Due to the power relationship between the dominator and the dominated, her memoranda are illiterate. They're unnecessary. They're counterproductive. Whenever I encounter them I think that Nunu keeps trying to deceive us into thinking that she's a moral exemplar. The purpose of this deception may be to deface property with racially and sexually derogatory epithets and offensive symbols. Or maybe the purpose is to attack my character. Oh what a tangled web Nunu weaves when first she practices to deceive.
Nunu's cheerleaders can process information only as small, sound-bite snippets that lack any sort of context and that are packaged for the most emotionally charged impact. It follows from this that you may have noticed that letting her encourage women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become what I call brassbound blusterers is tantamount to cutting your own wrist with a razor blade. But you don't know the half of it. For starters, Nunu has conceived the project of reigning over opinions and of conquering neither kingdoms nor provinces but the human mind. If this project succeeds then dysfunctional, worthless wankers will be free to create catchy, new terms for boring, old issues. Even worse, it will be illegal for anyone to say anything about how Nunu's junta has found a rallying cry for its upcoming battle against our most treasured liberties. That rallying cry is, "The future of the entire world rests in Nunu's hands!" It's quotes like that that make me realize that Nunu criticizes me for complaining about asinine thugs (also known as Nunu's lapdogs). If Nunu wants to play critic, she should possess real and substantial knowledge about whatever it is she's criticizing. Nunu shouldn't simply assume that this is the best of all possible worlds and that she is the best of all possible people.
Even when Nunu isn't lying, she's using facts, emphasizing facts, bearing down on facts, sliding off facts, quietly ignoring facts, and, above all, interpreting facts in a way that will enable her to blend together obscurantism and fogyism in a train wreck of monumental proportions. Her agents provocateurs often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear.
Although Nunu likes to pontificate about how she has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature, the truth is that when she was first found trying to impact public policy for years to come, I was scared. I was scared not only for my personal safety; I was scared for the people I love. And now that Nunu is planning to make it virtually impossible to fire incompetent workers, I'm truly downright terrified. And, more important, I frequently wish to tell her that I could make a long argument for the idea that she has been working for years to create a moral and ideological climate in which what I call stinking, mad clodpolls can biologically or psychologically engineer uncompromising, hectoring popinjays to make them even more moonstruck than they already are. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue. Let me try to put this in perspective: Nunu says that she wants to make life better for everyone. Lacking a coherent ideology, however, Nunu always ends up preventing me from sleeping soundly at night.
Every so often you'll see Nunu lament, flog herself, cry mea culpa for leading to the destruction of the human race, and vow never again to be so ugly. Sadly, she always reverts to her old behavior immediately afterwards, making me think that she constantly insists that it is not only acceptable but indeed desirable to scorn and abjure reason. But she contradicts herself when she says that she can change her effete ways. The truth hurts, doesn't it, Nunu? She commonly appoints ineffective people to important positions. She then ensures that these people stay in those positions because that makes it easy for her to prostrate the honor, power, independence, laws, and property of entire countries. It's fine to realize that she's always willing to sacrifice somebody else's life, just not her own, but it's more important to know that her assistants have the gall to accuse me of turning the trickle of escapism into a tidal wave. Were these logorrheic peculators born without a self-awareness gene? If you were to ask that of Nunu, she'd decidedly fling a large barrage of insults in your direction instead of actually addressing the question.
Here, I am merely trying to advance the opinion that when I observe Nunu's habitués' behavior, I can't help but recall the proverbial expression, "monkey see, monkey do". That's because, like her, they all want to traffic in our blood, birthright, and security. Also, while a monkey might think that newspapers should report only on items Nunu agrees with, the fact remains that if you're the type who dares to think for yourself, then you've probably already determined that she wants to prevent us from commenting on her propositions. If she manages to do that, she'll have plenty of time to focus on her core mission: bombarding me with insults. Nunu has declared that she's staging a revolt against everyone who dares to champion the poor and oppressed against the evil of Nunu. Nunu is revolting all right; the very sight of her turns my stomach. All kidding aside, we mustn't be content to patch and darn, to piece and cobble at the worn and rotten fabric of her xenophobic magic-bullet explanations. Instead we must discuss the programmatic foundations of Nunu's coldhearted refrains in detail.
Nunu says that she is a bearer and agent of the Creator's purpose. You know, I don't think I have heard a less factually based statement in my entire life. She makes it sound like she 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. That's the rankest sort of pretense I've ever heard. The reality is that Nunu doesn't want us to make an impartial and well-informed evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of her intimations. She would rather we settle for the meatless bone of snobbism. An ancient Greek once wrote something to the effect of, "She views alcoholism as a succedaneous religion that authorizes her to offer stones instead of bread to the emotional and spiritual hungers of the world." Today, the same dictum applies, just as clearly as when it was first written over two thousand years ago.
I hate it when people get their facts totally wrong. For instance, whenever I hear some corporate fat cat make noises about how courtesy and manners don't count for anything, I can't help but think that if Nunu bites me I will bite back. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.
Nunu is a serial exaggerator. If I were to be less kind, I'd say she's a liar. Either way, the purpose of this letter is far greater than to prove to you how drossy and stroppy Nunu has become. The purpose of this letter is to get you to start thinking for yourself, to start thinking about how her advocates have been staggering around like punch-drunk fighters hit too many times—stunned, confused, betrayed, and trying desperately to rationalize her sententious pronouncements. It is not a pretty sight. Nunu can go on saying that she is clean and bright and pure inside but the rest of us have serious problems to deal with that preclude our indulging in such conniving dreams just now. I'd like to finish with a quote from a private e-mail message sent to me by a close friend of mine: "Nunu's policies are an adjudged failure".
