I decidedly hope that the material I'm about to present will
open some eyes and minds. To begin at the beginning, today, we
might have let TooFree create new (and reinforce existing)
prejudices and misconceptions. Tomorrow, we won't. Instead, we will
take steps toward creating an inclusive society free of attitudinal
barriers. Now, more than ever, we must see through the haze of
antipluralism. While he puts on a good dog and pony show, he has
been deluding people into believing that it's perfectly safe to
drink and drive. Don't let him delude you, too.
If natural selection indeed works by removing the weakest and most
genetically unfit members of a species, then TooFree is clearly
going to be the first to go. Think about how easy it's become for
morally crippled extremists to send the wrong message to children.
It may seem difficult at first to put to rest inconsiderate and
saturnine refrains such as TooFree's. It is. But I've known some
knuckle-draggers who were impressively licentious. However, TooFree
is nettlesome, and that trumps licentious every time. I want to
give people more information about TooFree, help them digest and
assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw
responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I
undoubtedly hope people draw: Because of TooFree's obsession with
nativism, his most progressive idea is to convert our children to
cultural zombies in a mass of unthinking and easily herded
proletarian cattle. If that sounds progressive to you, you must be
facing the wrong way. All TooFree wants is to descend to character
assassination and name calling. Am I being unduly harsh for writing
that? I think not. When the religious leaders in Jesus's time were
wrong, Jesus denounced them in extremely harsh terms. So why
shouldn't I, too, use extremely harsh terms to indicate that at the
heart of the problem is TooFree's obliviousness to history, his
moral cowardice masked in bold rhetoric, and his overwhelmingly
shallow political posturing?
Am I the only one who makes that observation? Of course not. But
perhaps I express it more directly, more candidly, and far less
euphemistically than most. As effrontive as TooFree's followers may
be, they are also meddlesome geeks. TooFree proclaims at every
opportunity that he'd never clear forests, strip the topsoil, and
turn a natural paradise into a dust bowl through a self-induced
drought. The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks. If I wanted
to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I
would convince them that children don't need as much psychological
attentiveness, protection, and obedience training as the treasured
household pet. In fact, that's exactly what TooFree does as part of
his quest to toss sops to the egos of the effete. To end this
letter, I would like to make a bet with TooFree. I will gladly give
him a day's salary if he can prove that the Eleventh Commandment
is, "Thou shalt reduce human beings and many other living organisms
to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine", as he
insists. If TooFree is unable to prove that, then his end of the
bargain is to step aside while I listen to others. So, do we have a
bet, TooFree?
