re: Facebook

bob: I agree.

In this letter I would like to respond directly to yasty’s wily, drugged-out sermons. However, considering its inability to cope with the truth I feel that doing so would be a great disservice to yasty at this time. So, instead, I’ll devote the rest of this letter to explaining as politely as possible how sooner than you think, its barbs will degenerate into hotbeds of rumor and innuendo. Here’s how this letter works: I’ll offer ideas and a theory to explain things. You bring your own experiences to bear on the matter of its bloodthirsty politics, supplementing them where necessary with information from this letter. Together we will review the basic issues at the root of the debate. Yasty does not appeal to most people as being the most endearing or public-minded of organizations. Maybe its image would improve somewhat if it stopped trying to violate international laws.

On the issue of opportunism, yasty is wrong again. Sure, its intolerant harangues are a shout to the world that, before the year is over, it will exclude all people and proposals that oppose its satanic tractates. But yasty’s expositions are based on a denial of reality, on the substitution of a deliberately falsified picture of the world in place of reality. And this dishonesty, this refusal to admit the truth, will have some very serious consequences for all of us by the end of the decade.

I doubt we could beat this into yasty’s head, but purists may object to my failure to present specific examples of yasty’s goofy schemes. Fortunately, I do have an explanation for this omission. The explanation demands an understanding of how yasty fervently believes that 75 million years ago, a galactic tyrant named Xenu solved the overpopulation problem of his 76-planet federation by transporting the excess people to Earth, chaining them to volcanoes, and dropping H-bombs on them. This shows that it is not merely mistaken about one little fact among millions of facts but that yasty tries to make us think the way it wants us to think, not by showing us evidence and reasoning with us but by understanding how to push our emotional buttons. In closing, please remember that my ultimate goal is to examine the warp and woof of yasty’s values. If I advance, follow me. If I stop, urge me on. If I retreat, kill me.

I hope you’re not feeling neglected. We’ve all been very busy lately. My last post was technically two jobs ago, which is quite a while.

I can’t promise to write more in the future because I can’t be bothered. It’s probably because bender (who apparently has no wiki entry) knows how to say things on twitter, which sees a lot more action. I think that’s why no one else posts to you either.

People who read you probably know this, but in case they don’t, you’ve mostly been made obsolete by twitter, which is mostly hal quotes, and tumblr which has the other things.

I think.

Although I don’t think I remember how to use it.
