<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BALLAHOLLIC? @ Apr 2 2007, 10:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Are you serious?</div><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%">Let's get down to brass tacks: Mr. Boskin is too crafty to read the writing on the wall. This writing warns that it's indubitably a tragedy that his goal in life is apparently to take rights away from individuals on the basis of prejudice, myth, irrational belief, inaccurate information, and outright falsehood. Here, I use the word "tragedy" as the philosopher Whitehead used it. Whitehead stated that "the essence of dramatic tragedy is not unhappiness. It resides in the solemnity of the remorseless working of things," which I interpret as saying that self-satisfied poltroons thrive on hatred rather than love. To cap that off, even Boskin's lieutenants are afraid that Boskin will muzzle his critics sooner or later. I have seen their fear manifested over and over again, and it is further evidence that if Boskin has spurred us to point out that the emperor has no clothes on, then Boskin may have accomplished a useful thing. My usual response to Boskin's bons mots is this: It is not the case -- notwithstanding what Boskin's rambunctious propaganda so adamantly proclaims -- that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do. However, such a response is much too glib and perhaps a little dim-witted, so let me be more specific. What I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that I plan to delegitimize him. This is a choice I have made; your choice is up to you. But let me remind you that there are three fairly obvious problems with Boskin's hijinks, each of which needs to be addressed by any letter that attempts to act against injustice, whether it concerns drunk driving, domestic violence, or even radicalism. First, it can be distinguished only with difficulty which of Boskin's yes-men act out of inner stupidity or incompetence and which only pretend to for whatever semi-intelligible, rapacious reason. Second, Boskin's dream is to rule the world, or failing that, annihilate it. And third, I have a scientist's respect for objective truth. That's why I'm telling you that several things Boskin has said have brought me to the boiling point. The statement of his that made the strongest impression on me, however, was something to the effect of how everything he says is absolutely and thoroughly true. To distort and trivialize the debate surrounding elitism is Boskin's objective, and unrestrained militarism is his method.By framing the question in this way, we see that I must ask that Boskin's trucklers knock some sense into Boskin. I know they'll never do that, so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to offer stones instead of bread to the emotional and spiritual hungers of the world. His objective is clear: to make us less united, less moral, less sensitive, less engaged, and more perversely inerudite within a short period of time. If one needs a sign that he is oppressive, then consider that you, of course, now need some hard evidence that tribalism is correctly defined by its prolix style, structure, and methods, not by its stated or apparent ideological premises or goals. Well, how about this for evidence: Boskin maintains that he is a model citizen. This is hardly the case. Rather, there is growing evidence that says, to the contrary, that sometime in the future he will propound ideas that are widely perceived as representing outright antidisestablishmentarianism. Fortunately, that hasn't happened...yet. But it will unquestionably happen if we don't change the minds of those who destroy that which is the envy of -- and model for -- the entire civilized world.I no longer believe that trends like family breakdown, promiscuity, and violence are random events. Not only are they explicitly glorified and promoted by Boskin's petulant smear tactics, but if you don't think that I am quite certain that questionable statistics, pseudoscientific studies, and biased reports conceal information and, occasionally, blatantly lie, then you've missed the whole point of this letter. Boskin ignores a breathtaking number of facts, most notably:Fact: Obstreperous barrators have exerted care always to use high-sounding words like "anthropophysiography" to hide Boskin's plans to lobotomize everyone caught thinking an independent thought.Fact: Boskin is not only woefully sinful, but terribly uninformed.Fact: Boskin receives most of his knowledge from "Sensationalism for Dummies".In addition, one of Boskin's favorite tricks is to create a problem and then to offer the solution. Naturally, it's always his solutions that grant him the freedom to glamorize drug usage, never the original problem. That's all for this letter. For those that don't like my views, get over it. I suspect that I have as much a right to my views, and to express them, as anyone else. So when I say that the magnitude of Mr. Boskin's lies should disgust anyone who has an even moderate education, you can agree with me or not. That's all there is to it. Boskin just sucks.</span>[/rant generator]I was just kidding, I know him personally...
