I have some things to get off my chest

[AB8TM]

I decided to call off from work today to write this letter.

To begin at the beginning, there are few certainties in life. I have counted only three: death, taxes, and The ARRL announcing some catty thing every few weeks.

We all need to be aware of each other's existence as intelligent, feeling, human beings, even if some of us are self-righteous deadheads. How is it that I knew from the beginning that The ARRL would achieve total world domination? Am I smarter than everyone else? No, not at all. I'll admit that I'm smarter than The ARRL but that's like saying that I'm smarter than a toad. I knew what The ARRL would do because I realized that its devotees are unified under a common goal. That goal is to feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations.

As a citizen of this country, which I believe in and which I have seen The ARRL tear apart, I must take the initiative to straighten out The ARRL's thinking. To plunge right into it, I have a scientist's respect for objective truth. That's why I'm telling you that the unalterable law of biology has a corollary that is generally overlooked. Specifically, The ARRL keeps telling us that there is something intellectually provocative in the tired rehashing of bloody-minded stereotypes. Are we also supposed to believe that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them?

I didn't think so.

The ARRL should practice what it preaches. In view of that, it is not surprising that my cause is to condemn The ARRL's hypocrisy. I call upon men and women from all walks of life to support my cause with their life-affirming eloquence and indomitable spirit of human decency and moral righteousness. Only then will the whole world realize that if you've read any of the intolerant slop that The ARRL has concocted, you'll unquestionably recall The ARRL's description of its plan to needle and wheedle wily-to-the-core bloodsuckers into its faction. If you haven't read any of it, well, all you really need to know is that if I want to fall into the traps set for me by The ARRL's co-conspirators, that should be my prerogative. I don't need The ARRL forcing me to.

Now, perhaps you think I'm imagining things. Perhaps you think that The ARRL really isn't going to turn back the clock and repeal all the civil rights and anti-discrimination legislation now on the books. Well, I wish it were just my imagination. But you know, many people are convinced that its declamations serve only to safeguard its own power and privilege. I can't comment on that, but I can say that The ARRL keeps saying that snooty pinheads and indelicate drug lords should rule this country. Isn't that claim getting a little shopworn?

I mean, it possesses no significant intellectual skills whatsoever and has no interest in erudition.

The ARRL's proposals are just a rhetorical ploy to get away from the obvious fact that The ARRL had promised us liberty, equality, and fraternity. Instead, it gave us sesquipedalianism, factionalism, and post-structuralism. I suppose we should have seen that coming, especially since most of The ARRL's beliefs (as I would certainly not call them logically reasoned arguments) are slanted in the same ideological fashion, with large amounts of emotional exaggeration and general ignorance.

So let The ARRL call me disorderly. I call it subhuman. In that respect, we can say that a theme that appears repeatedly in The ARRL's musings concerns its desire to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. I could write pages on the subject, but the following should suffice. The ARRL thinks it would be a great idea to promote violence in all its forms -- physical, sexual, psychological, economical, and social. Even if we overlook the logistical impossibilities of such an idea, the underlying premise is still flawed.

Put simply, the main dissensus between me and The ARRL is that I maintain that I need to spend some time considering how best to encourage opportunity, responsibility, and community. It, on the other hand, contends that black is white and night is day. To some extent, The ARRL's statements will have consequences -- very serious consequences. And we ought to begin doing something about that. It is high time for someone to stop this insanity.

Will that someone be you?

(from the patin website complaint generator I thought I'd have some fun and insert a well-known character's name into it.)


"It is imperative that I give you the following information, which Lord Haw Haw wants concealed from the public.

What follows is a call to action for those of us who care -- a large enough number to review the basic issues at the root of the debate. Given the tenor of our times, I no longer believe that trends like family breakdown, promiscuity, and violence are random events.

Not only are they explicitly glorified and promoted by Lord Haw Haw's hypocritical, stinking invectives, but his latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining, but certainly not informative.

The more pressing news is that this is a truth that Lord Haw Haw's myrmidons are told by Lord Haw Haw that they cannot acknowledge, lest they give aid and comfort to the rest of us. There, my ranting is finished."

And one more.. just for fun.. (although THIS one does have a bit more validity!)

That is ONE neat website! A great stress reliever!

"I've got a beef with TROLLS WHO CONSTANTLY INFEST QRZ.COM!!!. What follows is a call to action for those of us who care -- a large enough number to search for solutions that are more creative and constructive than the typically semi-intelligible ones championed by deranged, unprofessional prophets of narcissism.

TROLLS WHO CONSTANTLY INFEST QRZ.COM!!! reminds me of the thief who cries "Stop, thief!" to distract attention from his thievery. Sure, it sounds hostile. Blame that on grungy beguilers. After having read this, you may think that there must be some ascertainable mental block that makes TROLLS WHO CONSTANTLY INFEST QRZ.COM!!! so profligate.

Nevertheless, you should always remember that TROLLS WHO CONSTANTLY INFEST QRZ.COM!!!'s deputies are patronizing at best, the downfall of society at worst."

I actually got through the post. My first thoughts concerned the rambling nature and stilted prose but I plowed through it.

When I clicked on the link and saw the truth, I wondered where WA5KRP's picture of the Marlin being reeled in was. I don't think he has seen the thread yet.

The complaint letter generator is cool. I think some fun can be had with it.

I liked this one....

I am writing this letter because I recently heard some troubling news. Apparently, a large number of people actually believe the ARRL's claim that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is. Before I launch into my rant, permit me the prelude caveat that I'm not very conversant with its background. To be quite frank, I don't care to be. I already know enough to state with confidence that the majority of clueless freebooters probably agree that I must reach out even to my most ostrich-like readers and show them how the ARRL's suggestions are unrealistic. From this anecdotal evidence, I would argue that its villainous hastily mounted campaigns make conditions far worse than could ever have been the case without its unpatriotic efforts. News of this deviousness must spread like wildfire if we are ever to identify, challenge, defy, disrupt, and, finally, destroy the institutions that provide sanctimonious dipsomaniacs with a milieu in which they can commit acts of immorality, dishonesty, and treason. While some information provided by the ARRL's janissaries may be factual, other material is unsubstantiated rumor or wretched morals. I am not in any way placing the blame on the ARRL for jejune perjurers who caricature and stereotype people from other cultures. That notwithstanding, the ARRL is still culpable for plotting to nourish destructive, unforgiving ideologies. I have just one word for the ARRL: pathologicopsychological. In closing, I could hazard a guess and say that ARRL's favorite careless pests will pigeonhole people into predetermined categories sooner or later.

What I am about to say is strictly off the record. On that understanding, I shall give you candidly and without circumlocution the best estimate of our present plight that I have been able to make. To begin with, Democrats has spent untold hours trying to utilize questionable and illegal fund-raising techniques. During that time, did it ever once occur to it that when you least expect it, it will pull out all stops in its treacherous drive to herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses? We should be able to look into our own souls for the answer. If we do, I suspect we'll find that I am convinced that there will be a strong effort on its part to take control of a nation and suck it dry by next weekend. This effort will be disguised, of course. It will be cloaked in deceit, as such efforts always are. That's why I'm informing you that Democrats acts as if it were King of the World. This hauteur is astonishing, staggering, and mind-boggling. Democrats has been deluding people into believing that the average working-class person can't see through its chicanery. Don't let it delude you, too. Democrats is typical of morbid sewer rats in its wild invocations to the irrational, the magic, and the fantastic to dramatize its rantings. What so many people find difficult to grasp is that even when Democrats isn't lying, it'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 it to attack my character. In this land which has befriended baleful extremists, Democrats has conspired, plotted, undermined, prostituted, and corrupted, and -- hiding to this hour behind the braver screen of horny tightwads -- dares to contrive and scheme the death of every principle that has protected it.

The law is not just a moral stance. It is the consensus of society on our minimum standards of behavior. Democrats is consistently inconsistent. If that fact hurts, get over it; it's called reality. And for another dose of reality, consider that the public perception is that it is a grave injustice for Democrats to reduce human beings to the status of domestic animals. That conclusion is not based on some sort of shameless, intellectually challenged philosophy or on Democrats-style mental masturbation, but on widely known and proven principles of science. These principles explain that I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: However varied or profound the explanations underlying our sense of moral values may be, Democrats is unable to see any issue in a broad perspective or from more than one side. I could write pages on the subject, but the following should suffice. As long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, Democrats's secret police don't really care that if I were to compile a list of its forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion, it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one. Such a list would surely make every sane person who has passed the age of six realize that there is blood on Democrats's hands. I mean, think about it.

Democrats says that granting it complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air. I've seen more plausible things scrawled on the bathroom walls in elementary schools. A central fault line runs through each of Democrats's epithets. Specifically, Democrats and its co-conspirators are abusive stirrers. This is not set down in complaint against them, but merely as analysis. Okay, there's no reason for me to be judgmental, so I'll leave you with this concept: Democrats's harangues are thoroughly otiose.


--------------

I apologize for the sarcastic tone of this letter, but I have found it is the only way to vent the ineffable anger that possessed me when I heard Republicans say that "the norm" shouldn't have to worry about how the exceptions feel. Without going into all the gory details, let's just say that all the deals it makes are strictly one-way. Republicans gets all the rights, and the other party gets all the obligations. Your guess is as good as mine as to why Republicans wants to project a stream of impolitic images of death, sex, disaster, material goods, celebrities, and other fixtures in a mock-Olympian firmament. Maybe it's because it plans to toss sops to the egos of the brusque. If a cogent, logical argument entered Republicans's brain, no doubt a concussion would result. I've already said this a thousand times and with a thousand different phrasings, but I must defend my honor. Yes, I could add that we must stay the course and resist all temptations to make conditions far worse than could ever have been the case without its mendacious efforts, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that it strikes me as amusing that Republicans complains about people who do nothing but complain. Well, news flash! It does nothing but complain.

I am convinced that there will be a strong effort on Republicans's part to leave helpless citizens afraid in the streets, in their jobs, and even in their homes in a matter of days. This effort will be disguised, of course. It will be cloaked in deceit, as such efforts always are. That's why I'm informing you that there is no place in this country where we are safe from Republicans's myrmidons, no place where we are not targeted for hatred and attack. A few days ago, Republicans actually admitted that it wants to resort to ad hominem attacks on me and my family. Can you believe that? Perhaps Republicans forgot to take its antipsychotics that day. An additional clue is that I frequently talk about how to enter into philosophic disputations with such cantankerous (or at least, raucous) swindlers is both predatory and depraved. I would drop the subject, except that we should comment on its rantings. (Goodness knows, our elected officials aren't going to.)

For the moment, I will concentrate on the fact that Republicans has recently been going around claiming that the purpose of life is self-gratification. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. Republicans is like a magician who produces a dove in one hand, while the other hand is busy trying to promulgate partisan prejudice against others. I recently read a book confirming what I've been saying for years, that Republicans claims that human beings should be appraised by the number of things and the amount of money they possess instead of by their internal value and achievements. I respond that it lacks the courage to confront me face-to-face. My goal is to question authority. I might not be successful at achieving that goal, but I certainly do have to try. Even if I agreed that Republicans's atrabilious conjectures were of paramount importance, it would still be the case that Republicans is locked into its present course of destruction. It does not have the interest or the will to change its fundamentally wicked ruses. In closing this letter, let me point out that I would be remiss if I didn't remind you that pea-brained reavers don't think like you and me.

While I am on a role, I would like to address one more issue. I sent my children to the babysitter and skipped lunch and dinner to address this important issue.

Does CB Radio believe, deep in the adytum of its own mind, that its way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't? What is its secret agenda? And why can't it live among us in peace?

This letter is not the place to explore the answers to those questions.

Its purpose is instead to derail CB Radio's deplorable little schemes. Instead of focusing on why CB Radio is guilty of a shocking display of dishonesty and sophistry, I would like to remind people that even if one is opposed to insidious, irresponsible post-structuralism (and I am), then surely, everybody is probably familiar with the cliche that abusive obscurantism has long been the nucleus of CB Radio's slogans.

Well, there's a lot of truth in that cliche.

If my memory serves me correctly, people tell me that CB Radio should show some class. And the people who tell me this are correct, of course. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived in a world without the worst kinds of pathological liars and cheats there are? Given the range and unpredictability of human behavior, it is quite possible that CB Radio refuses to come to terms with reality.

It prefers instead to live in a fantasy world of rationalization and hallucination.


One of the great mysteries of modern life is, Does CB Radio realize it's more dissolute than most bookish, batty flag burners? Although I haven't yet been able to concoct an acceptable answer to that question, I can suggest a tentative hypothesis.

My hypothesis is that there is no doubt that CB Radio will sacrifice children on the twin altars of gnosticism and greed one day.

Believe me, I would give everything I own to be wrong on that point, but the truth is that there is a format CB Radio should follow for its next literary endeavor. It involves a topic sentence and supporting facts. Now, I am all for freedom of speech, but someone has been giving CB Radio's brain a very thorough washing, and now CB Radio is trying to do the same to us.

With friends like CB Radio, who needs enemies? I mean, I once had a nightmare in which it was free to waste taxpayers' money. When I awoke, I realized that this nightmare was frighteningly close to reality.

For instance, I have a problem with CB Radio's use of the phrase, "Breaker Breaker Goodbuddy...". With this phrase, it doesn't need to prove its claim that it is forward-looking, open-minded, and creative; it merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, its hangers-on actually believe the bunkum they're always mouthing.

That's because these types of chauvinistic televangelists are idealistic, have no sense of history or human nature, and they think that what they're doing will improve the world some day. In reality, of course, if CB Radio has spurred us to combat the satanic ideology of onanism that has infected the minds of so many crude twits, then CB Radio may have accomplished a useful thing.

I would like to close by saying that CB Radio's priorities are inverted.

I would merely reply that your ostentatious grandiloquence is every bit amusing as it is disingenuous. Unfortunately, although you may feel as though your familiarity with a thesaurus lifts you to the lofty heights of intellect demonstrated by Kant, Nietzsche, Leibniz, Whitehead, Spinoza, and Hegel, your choice of subject is hardly appropriate for such an obfuscated tour de force.

Nevertheless, it certainly was one of the funniest posts I've ever seen around here!
