posted by: angiekruger (reply) post date: 02.19.05 (8:23 am) I kept my silence when Mr. Lynn Kramer announced he wanted to justify, palliate, or excuse the evils of his heart. I did nothing when he tried to threaten national security. But his latest philippics are the straw that breaks the camel's back. Before I launch into my main topic, I want to make a few matters crystal clear: 1) exhibitionism is a growing threat to society and should be outlawed, and 2) as a result of that, his virtue and brains are inversely proportionate to his vices and the size of his mouth. Now that you know where I stand on those issues, I can safely say that his bootlickers are tools. Like a hammer or an axe, they are not inherently evil or destructive. The evil is in the force that manipulates them and uses them for destructive purposes. That evil is Lynn Kramer, who wants nothing less than to assail all that is holy. Until we illustrate the virtues that he lacks -- courage, truthfulness, courtesy, honesty, diligence, chivalry, loyalty, and industry -- he will continue to invade every private corner and force every thought into an annoying mold, yet he would like to see all of our individual liberties digest in the bowels of an all-powerful State. This sort of vertiginous paradox is well known to most pathological leeches. He would have us believe that we can all live together happily without laws, like the members of some 1960s-style dope-smoking commune. That, of course, is nonsense, total nonsense. But Lynn is surrounded by wicked, scornful freebooters who parrot the same nonsense, which is why I suppose it's predictable, though terribly sad, that superstitious, crapulous energumens with stronger voices than minds would revert to perverted behavior. But he wants nothing less than to popularize a genre of music whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge slovenly troublemakers of one sort or another to put political correctness ahead of scientific rigor. His foot soldiers then wonder, "What's wrong with that?" Well, there's not much to be done with unstable lounge lizards who can't figure out what's wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that Lynn asserts that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere. That assertion is not only untrue, but a conscious lie. Let me be clear. The question that's on everyone's mind these days is, "Will peeling back the onion of Lynn's out-of-touch plans for the future cause Lynn to shed tears or will it merely enhance his desire to unleash an unparalleled wave of immoralism?" We should be able to look into our own souls for the answer. If we do, I suspect we'll find that philistinism doesn't work. So why does Lynn cling to it? To ask that question another way, whatever happened to good sportsmanship? The answer is obvious if you understand that the tone of Lynn's words is eerily reminiscent of that of lackadaisical yobbos of the late 1940s, in the sense that some people think it's a bit extreme of me to maximize our individual potential for effectiveness and success in combatting Lynn -- a bit over the top, perhaps. Well, what I ought to remind such people is that if Fate desired that Lynn make a correct application of what he had read about incendiarism, it would have to indicate title and page number, since the self-pitying fool would otherwise never in all his life find the correct place. But since Fate does not do this, Lynn is the embodiment of everything petty in our lives. Every grievance, every envy, every careless ideology finds expression in Lynn Kramer. It has been said that Lynn should have been removed from the gene pool before he had a chance to contaminate it. I believe that to be true. I also believe that if one believes statements like, "Predaceous blackguards are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive," one is, in effect, supporting huffy freaks of nature. He wants nothing less than to push our efforts two steps backward, hence his repeated, almost hypnotic, insistence on the importance of his whiney antics. Lynn should think about how his tirades lead empty-headed, disagreeable good-for-nothings to attack the critical realism and impassive objectivity that are the central epistemological foundations of the scientific worldview. If Lynn doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet. To wrap up, I'll just hit the key elements of this letter one last time. First, Mr. Lynn Kramer has never been able to assimilate and accept the humane ideals, civilized aims, and social aspirations of his peers. Second, whenever he is presented with the truth, he cringes like a vampire from a cross. And finally, he can't see the forest for the trees. |
