My complaint about Mr. Iea T. Crayonz Esq.

It will unmistakably surprise some people to hear me say this, but Mr. Iea T. Crayonz, Esq.'s henchmen merely present their allegations as though they were true, a technique known as a “conclusory” or “Kierkegaardian” leap. One of the first facts we should face is that we are a nation of prostitutes. By this I mean that as long as we are fat, warm, and dry we don't care what Mr. Crayonz does. It is precisely that lack of caring that explains why the bossy finaglers that comprise Mr. Crayonz's Praetorian Guard are as thick as thieves. If one of them is willing to manipulate the unseen mechanisms of society so as to blitz media outlets with faxes and newsletters that highlight the good points of his pouty activities, then they all are. What's more, none of them is able to accept that I am now in a position to define what I mean when I say that as a time-honored expression maintains, “Mr. Crayonz's ramblings either go uncontested or are openly supported by nefarious quodlibetarians”. What I mean is that I want to advance a clear, credible, and effective vision for dealing with our present dilemma and its most brazen manifestations. But first, let me pose an abstract question. Why is he so compelled to complain about situations over which he has no control? You know the answer, don't you? You probably also know that those of us who are still sane, those of us who still have a firm grip on reality, those of us who still proclaim that I was appalled when I first learned that his confederates want to declare martial law, suspend elections, and round up dissidents (i.e., anyone who does not buy his lie that it's okay for him to indulge his every whim and lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole), have an obligation to do more than just observe what he is doing from a safe distance. We have an obligation to reveal the nature and activity of his peons and expose their inner contexts as well as their ultimate final aims. We have an obligation to kick butt and take names. And we have an obligation to deal summarily with fickle imbeciles.

As I noted at the beginning of this letter, I need your help if I'm ever to state publicly that the people Mr. Crayonz attacks deserve compassion, not insults, put-downs, or stereotypes. “But I'm only one person,” you might protest. “What difference can I make?” The answer is: a lot more than you think. You see, a free and open society should be able to tolerate a diversity of beliefs and practices, even when they are at odds with Mr. Crayonz's vulgar slurs—perhaps especially when they are at odds with Mr. Crayonz's vulgar slurs.

Even Mr. Crayonz's spin doctors don't care much for his political objectives; they simply wish to associate with other damnable, sanctimonious serpents and insist that our society be infested with yahooism, animalism, scapegoatism, and an impressive swarm of other “isms”. It's shocking just how haughty Mr. Crayonz can be. If you doubt this, just ask around. It is certainly the height of ironies that his most steadfast claim is that merit is adequately measured by his methods and qualifications. If there were any semblance of truth in this, I would be the last to say anything against it. As it stands, however, Mr. Crayonz's current aspiration is to take the robes of political power off the shoulders of the few honest people who wear them and put them upon the shoulders of cullionly potlickers. I'd call that the most putrid idea in Mr. Crayonz's long history of putrid ideas. It's the sort of idea that draws attention to how he can get away with lies (e.g., that he is the arbiter of all things) because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that Mr. Crayonz is lying.

I can say one thing about Mr. Crayonz. 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 I'll admit that Mr. Crayonz's rhetoric is occasionally decorous. However, his delusions are just as ripe and far more lethal than those of the ornery tosspots who insist that he serves as wisdom to the mighty and succor to the brave. His overbearing buddies have been giving an air of scientific impartiality to biased judgments. There must be justice and restitution for this, and those who are responsible for such crass behavior must be held accountable. I suggest we begin by examining the warp and woof of Mr. Crayonz's spittle-flecked rants. Doing so will at least prove that Mr. Crayonz's views no more represent the convictions of those of us here than Louis XVI's represented the sentiments of the French people. You don't believe me? Well, consider that if it turns out that there's definitely no way to prevent Mr. Crayonz from endorsing a complete system of leadership by mobocracy then I guess it'll be time to throw my cards on the table and call it quits. I'll just have to give up trying to honor our nation's glorious mosaic of cultures and ethnicities and accept the fact that I think that he clings to any argument or principle, however unconscionable or warped, that appears to support his long-term goals. You probably think that too. But Mr. Crayonz does not think that. Mr. Crayonz thinks that he has an absolute right to be intolerant in the name of tolerance.

Anyone who hasn't been living in a cave with his eyes shut and his ears plugged knows that Mr. Crayonz frequently insists that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not. This lie of his cannot stand the light of day, and a few minutes' reflection will suffice to show how utterly crime-stained a lie it is. Nonetheless, he will just moan and groan until we give him permission to break our country's national and patriotic backbone and make it ripe for the slave's yoke of international communism. From this anecdotal evidence I would argue that what we need to do next is to love the Earth and everything that flowers and crawls upon it. This will be difficult if you can't trust anything or if you believe that Jacobinism and mysticism are identical concepts. That's why I suggest you think about how Stalinism is a kind of prison. It is also, paradoxically, a haven. It is at once confining and empowering. And in the absence of alternative havens, Stalinism will for many of Mr. Crayonz's mercenaries continue to be a source of comfort, something to free them from having to confront the fact that I am not a robot. I am a thinking, feeling, human being. As such, I get teary-eyed whenever I see Mr. Crayonz extend his fifteen minutes of fame to fifteen months. It makes me want to solve the problems of onanism, alarmism, economic inequality, and lack of equal opportunity, which is why I'm so eager to tell you that anyone—you or I or a Martian who just arrived in a flying saucer—who wants to ensure that Mr. Crayonz receives his just deserts should realize that it wasn't so long ago that people like you and me were free to put an end to Mr. Crayonz's evildoing. Recently, that's become a lot harder to do. What happened that changed things so much? To put it briefly, Iea T. Crayonz happened. By imposing ideology, controlling thought, and punishing virtually any behavior he disapproves of, Mr. Crayonz has managed to degrade, divide, and destroy our nation. Finally, if this letter generates a response from someone of opposing viewpoints, I would hope that the author(s) concentrate on offering objections to my ideas while refraining from attacks on my person or my intelligence. I've gotten enough of that already from Mr. Iea T. Crayonz, Esq..

Dude you do realize that you're supposed to be one of the Praetorian guards right? If the other guards are hazing you again et me know and I will take care of it. I think they are doing it more out of fear than anything else after seeing what happened to Sven. It's like you never took the class. Do I have to send you back to Kierkegaarden?

If a man named Bob has three hats - one is blue, another green and another white, and another guy named Frank has two hats - one black and the other red, if they sell four of the hats for $20, but people generally only buy primary color hats, who makes the most money?

I recently had the fortunate experience of being enlightened (or educated) as to what evil TwoBillsDrive is currently conspiring to unleash upon the world. I would now like to share that experience with you. The full truth of my conclusion I shall develop in the course of this letter, but the conclusion's general outline is that TwoBillsDrive has been trying hard to convince us that principles don't matter. It clearly has a knack for refining snake oil to unprecedented purity, potency, and opacity, doesn't it? In any case, TwoBillsDrive has especially been targeting schools and universities, trying to convert them into indoctrination centers for fainéantism. Once such institutions of learning can be coerced into suppressing freedom of expression, free inquiry, independent research, and all objectivity, they will become training grounds for naive cult leaders who are dedicated to serving TwoBillsDrive and carrying out its plan of operating in the gray area between legitimate activity and picayunish tribalism.

TwoBillsDrive believes that public opinion is a reliable indicator of what's true and what isn't. In the long run, however, it's only fooling itself. TwoBillsDrive would be better off if it just admitted to itself that the implications of this are obvious. To spell it out, though, if today we don't change the world for the better, then tomorrow we'll have to put up with it spheterizing other organizations' belongings.

TwoBillsDrive uses the word “philoprogenitiveness” without ever having taken the time to look it up in the dictionary. Organizations that are too lazy to get their basic terms right should be ignored, not debated. No doubt, we must coolly and objectively adopt the standpoint that TwoBillsDrive makes assertions that strain credulity. But TwoBillsDrive has been tricking us into trading freedom for serfdom. How can it perpetrate such an outrage against public propriety and decency? This is an important question because it and its yes-men are a cancer on our society. They will therefore do what cancer always does: kill the host. What's noteworthy about that observation is that I do not have the time in one sitting to go into the long answer as to why TwoBillsDrive is an enemy to its friends and a friend to its enemies. But the short answer is that it wants to fuel the censorship-and-intolerance crowd. That's undoubtedly a formula for repression and resentment and will lead to it casting dissent as treason and criticism as espionage faster than you can say “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis”.

Even with the increasing number of moralistic rotters, instead of taking the easy path in life, the downward path, we must choose the upward path regardless of the pain, suffering, and sacrifice that this choice entails. Only then can we finally help people see TwoBillsDrive's hotheaded, abusive press releases for what they are. Yes, TwoBillsDrive will try to stop us by molding the mind of virtually every citizen—young or old, rich or poor, simple or sophisticated—but it has been said that you can assume serious trouble is brewing when the worst sorts of fickle malefactors there are deny both our individual and collective responsibility to live in harmony with each other and the world. I believe that to be true. I also believe that I would love to be a fly on the wall near where TwoBillsDrive and its claque meet. I'd love to hear how those unctuous lobcocks come up with their abysmal schemes for ensuring that all of the news we receive is filtered through a narrow ideological prism. Then, I'd finally be able to back up my claim that TwoBillsDrive's off-the-cuff comments are characterized by a preachy arrogance unbefitting to something that knows so little. (Actually, TwoBillsDrive has gotten us into one hell of a mess, but that's not important now.)

Moving on, TwoBillsDrive is trying to get us to acquiesce to a Faustian bargain. In the short term this bargain may help us indicate in a rough and approximate way the two fork-tongued tendencies that I believe are the main driving force of modern sciolism. Unfortunately, in the long term it will enable TwoBillsDrive to cast the world into nuclear holocaust. TwoBillsDrive sometimes puts itself in charge of controlling Web content that it deems politically or morally objectionable. At other times, one of its forces is deputed for the job. In either case, TwoBillsDrive has been going around saying that all literature that opposes fetishism was forged by third-rate, addlepated porn stars. That's a bit of a furphy. The truth is that unless you define success using the sort of loosey-goosey standards by which TwoBillsDrive abides you'll realize that true measures of success involve telling you things that TwoBillsDrive doesn't want you to know. Success is getting the world to see that TwoBillsDrive's outbursts have a long and appalling lineage. In particular, they're based upon all of the litigious devices of the past: spheres of influence, balances of power, secret treaties, triple alliances, and, during the interim periods, appeasement of triumphalism. Although I've spent most of this letter criticizing TwoBillsDrive, let me end by stating simply that TwoBillsDrive apparently wants to use us to fulfill its gormless mission.

This time I will give you an example but it can be anything really.

 

I declare:

 

One of the moderators in here has annoyed me to no end by changing the name of my thread. I think it was Beerboy although I have no direct evidence. I don't care about evidence. Beerboy's mistake in his attempt to be funny will come back to haunt him because I provide him with a rich income but only if he does as he is told with our elite clients.

 

Here is the bad news for him:

 

One of our former clients code named Roan Jivers has passed away. The thing is, she is not a former client.....she is a client. You see Roan was into something called "reverse" macrophelia. You guessed it; "reverse" macrophelia is the kind where the macropheliac is the one who is already dead. A former attorney of mine penned a contract with Roan when I was away and she tricked him. The contract iron clad. I had come to grips with paying the multi billion $$$ out clause but now I think I know the man for the job and have begun making the arrangements.

 

After this I doubt any of my threads will have their titles changed.

When it comes to Declarations, nobody can deny this is the winner...

 

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
