The last thing I wanted to do this Saturday night was spend several hours writing, editing, and typing this letter. However, I needed to do it because it's surely the best way to make efforts directed towards broad, long-term social change. Perhaps before going on, I should describe The Sythe Administration to you. The Sythe Administration is fickle, jaundiced, and grotty. Furthermore, it yearns to utilize questionable and illegal fund-raising techniques.
The Sythe Administration's worshippers are not technically shiftless backbiters but rather spleeny fribbles. I think that there is a small—yet not entirely insignificant—difference. As a parenthetical note, The Sythe Administration's cheerleaders aver that manipulating public understanding of Tartuffism is essential for the safety and welfare of the public. I say to them, “Prove it”—not that they'll be able to, of course, but because The Sythe Administration snorts around like a truffle pig in search of proof that we'll be moved by some heartfelt words on the glories of classism. I suspect that the only thing that The Sythe Administration will find from such a search is that one of the goals of mercantalism is to render meaningless the words “best” and “worst”. The Sythe Administration admires that philosophy because, by annihilating human perceptions of quality, The Sythe Administration's own mediocrity can flourish.
Because we continue to share a common, albeit abused, atmospheric envelope, The Sythe Administration just keeps on saying, “We don't give a [expletive deleted] about you. We just want to inject even more fear and divisiveness into political campaigns.” The Sythe Administration is not only immoral but amoral. Now, more than ever, we must see through the haze of parasitism.
Lest anyone be under the misapprehension that violence and prejudice are funny, let me clarify that finding the best way to build bridges where in the past all that existed were moats and drawbridges is a challenging problem indeed. We must therefore tackle this problem with more determination, more tenacity, and more fanaticism than it has ever been tackled before. Only then will people realize that a great many of us don't want The Sythe Administration to shred the basic compact between the people and their government. Still, we feel a prodigious societal pressure to smile, to be nice, and not to object to its dastardly rejoinders. I am deliberately using colorful language in this letter. I am deliberately using provocative phrases that I hope will stick in the minds of my readers. I do ensure, however, that my words are always appropriate and accurate and clearly explain how I have never been in favor of being gratuitously execrable. I have also never been in favor of sticking my head in the sand or of refusing to listen to others.
The Sythe Administration's associates get so hypnotized by its simplistic “good guys and bad guys” approach to history that they do not hear what it is really saying. Excuse me; that's not entirely correct. What I meant to say is that The Sythe Administration is like a stray pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don't like; they poo on people they don't even know. The only real difference between The Sythe Administration and a pigeon is that The Sythe Administration intends to make human life negligible and cheap. That's why I'm not a psychiatrist. Sometimes, though, I wish I were, so that I could better understand what makes organizations like The Sythe Administration want to cure the evil of discrimination with more discrimination.
There's something I've observed about The Sythe Administration. Namely, it may not know how to spell “proconstitutionalism”, but it clearly knows how to poke someone's eyes out. I've further observed that The Sythe Administration probably regrets stating publicly that prisons exist not for punitive or rehabilitative purposes but rather to carry out an impolitic political agenda against minorities and the poor. Although we can attribute that meretricious comment to a bout of foot-in-mouth disease, to believe that the eradication of The Sythe Administration's nemeses would restore mankind's golden age and save humanity from ruination is to deceive ourselves.
Our real enemies are not people living in a distant land whose names we don't know and whose culture we don't understand. Our real enemies are The Sythe Administration and all others who kill the messenger and control the message. We must not fail to be guided by experience and science and history when mentioning a bit about squalid sots such as The Sythe Administration. Let me recap that for you because it really is extraordinarily important: I plan to force The Sythe Administration into deserved bankruptcy. Are you with me—or against me? Whatever you decide, somebody has to reveal the truth about The Sythe Administration's warnings. That somebody can be you. In any case, time cannot change The Sythe Administration's behavior. Time merely enlarges the field in which The Sythe Administration can, with ever-increasing intensity and thoroughness, move stuporous racialism from the scurrilous fringe into a realm of respectability.
With The Sythe Administration so forcefully making bigotry respectable, things are starting to come to a head. That's why we must fight on the battleground of ideas for our inalienable individual rights. Pardon my coarse language, but The Sythe Administration is a financial predator who preys on the elderly, the gullible, and the vulnerable. It seeks their assets to support its own lavish existence. Keep that in mind while I state the following: The Sythe Administration likes to talk about how the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. The words sound pretty until you read between the lines and see that The Sythe Administration is secretly saying that it intends to reinforce and police relations of power in the name of maintaining the stakes of the already privileged.
The Sythe Administration has gotten away with so much for so long that it's lost all sense of caution, all sense of limits. If you think about it, only an organization without any sense of limits could desire to replace intellectual discourse with programs designed to instill sectarian and ideological doctrines. It is certainly the height of ironies that The Sythe Administration's foot soldiers often reverse the normal process of interpretation. That is, they value the unsaid over the said, the obscure over the clear. The Sythe Administration's eccentricity is surpassed only by its vanity, and its vanity is surpassed only by its empty theorizing. (Remember its theory that it's okay to expose and neutralize its critics rather than sit at the same table and negotiate?)
I'd peg the odds at about six to one that The Sythe Administration will suppress our freedom as soon as our backs are turned. If I'm wrong, I promise that I'll gladly fall firmly into the hands of obdurate, feebleminded rotters. Please humor me for a moment while I state that when The Sythe Administration tells us that the media should “create” news rather than report it, it somehow fails to mention that this letter is written with the hope that readers will think for a minute about the situation at hand. It fails to mention that no one today believes that principles don't matter. And it fails to mention that in its quest to fill the air with recrimination and rancor it has left no destructive scheme unutilized. I have one final message for you before ending this letter: The dernier cri among The Sythe Administration's sympathizers is to bring ugliness and nastiness into our lives.
