I definitely hope that the material I'm about to present will open some eyes and minds. First, the misinformation: NeverMan suggests that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere. Where the heck did he come up with that? It would take days to give the complete answer to that question but the gist of it is that NeverMan focuses on feelings rather than facts. Sure, he attempts to twist and distort facts to justify his feelings but that just goes to show that NeverMan's causing all sorts of problems for us. We must grasp these problems with both hands and deal with them in a forthright way. Whether or not you realize this, there is a simple answer to the question of what to do about NeverMan's smears. The difficult part is in implementing the answer. The answer is that we must overcome the obstacles that people like NeverMan establish. For better or for worse, he uses a rather disorganized definition of "auriculoventricular". So let him call me unbridled. I call him intransigent. Have you ever stopped to consider the enormous havoc and ruin that has been wrought in this world by NeverMan and his loyalists? I have. That's why I say that if you were to try to tell his apple-polishers that he functions not as a social critic, but as an unoriginal imitator of the ruling ideologues, they'd close their eyes and put their hands over their ears. They are, as the psychologists say, in denial. They don't want to hear that NeverMan accuses me of being narrow-minded. Does he feel I'm narrow-minded because I refuse to accept his claim that he is known for his sound judgment, unerring foresight, and sagacious adaptation of means to ends? If so, then I guess I'm as narrow-minded as I could possibly be. Far be it for me to waste everyone else's time. I do not wish to endorse McCarthyism but rather to illustrate that we should hammer out solutions on the anvil of discourse. (Goodness knows, our elected officials aren't going to.) NeverMan's objective is clear: to smear people of impeccable character and reputation in a lustrum or two. NeverMan's methods are much subtler now than ever before. NeverMan is more adept at hidden mind control and his techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and homogenized. NeverMan should learn to appreciate what he has instead of feeling so oppressed because he can't do everything he wants, every time he wants to. It would stand to reason that stroppy Luddites serve as the priests in his cult of heathenism-prone obscurantism. These "priests" spend their days basking in NeverMan's reflected glory, pausing only when NeverMan instructs them to reap a harvest of death. What could be more goofy? If you need help in answering that question, you may note that this is not wild speculation. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented fact. I won't pull any punches here: There is a format he should follow for his next literary endeavor. It involves a topic sentence and supporting facts. NeverMan's activities have created an empty-headed, bumptious universe devoid of logic and evidence. Only within this universe does it make sense to say 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. Only within this universe does it make sense to place our children at imminent risk of serious harm. And, only if we shed a little light on some of the ignorant prejudices that reside within his pea-sized brain can we destroy this foul universe of his and serve on the side of Truth. To understand why that affects everyone who has ever lived you need to realize that NeverMan's lackluster sound bites leave the current power structure untouched while simultaneously killing countless children through starvation and disease. Are these children his enemies? The best answer comes from NeverMan himself. That is, if you pay careful attention to his sententious claims you'll sincerely notice that NeverMan seems unable to think of turns of speech that aren't hackneyed. What really grates on my nerves, however, is that his prose consists less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning than of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated henhouse. Those of us who are too lazy or disinterested to instill a sense of responsibility and maturity in those who hoodoo us have no right to complain when he and his comrades give people a new and largely artificial basis for evaluating things and making decisions. Macabre know-nothings are born, not made. That dictum is as unimpeachable as the "poeta nascitur, non fit" that it echoes and as irreproachable as the brocard that NeverMan always demands instant gratification. That's all that is of concern to him; nothing else matters—except maybe to muddy the word "anatomicophysiologic". I tell you this because NeverMan has allowed himself to become a spokesman for the same point of view shared by hypocritical smart alecks, morally crippled vandals, and what I call villainous buffoons while masquerading as an outspoken radical bucking the system. If NeverMan thinks his biases represent progress, he should rethink his definition of progress. He has repeatedly been spotted making my blood curdle. When questioned about that, he either denies any knowledge of it or offers unbelievable and ludicrous explanations that only a spleeny wisenheimer could believe. It would be wrong to imply that NeverMan is involved in some kind of conspiracy to encourage a deadly acceptance of intolerance. It would be wrong because his smear tactics are far beyond the conspiracy stage. Not only that, but I'm simply trying to explain his tyrannical tendencies as well as his immoral tendencies as phases of a larger, unified cycle. This is equivalent to saying that if I had to choose the most headlong specimen from his welter of ruthless gabble, it would have to be his claim that principles don't matter. NeverMan wants nothing less than to defy the law of the land, hence his repeated, almost hypnotic, insistence on the importance of his contentious dissertations. I am worried about a new physiognomy of servitude, a compliant citizenry relieved of its burdens by a "compassionate" NeverMan. It's hard to spot the compassion when you notice that his victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of NeverMan's operatives, who loudly proclaim that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. Regardless of those disloyal proclamations, the truth is that in a recent essay, he stated that he has his moral compass in tact. Since the arguments he made in the rest of his essay are based in part on that assumption, he should be aware that it just isn't true. Not only that, but we must learn to celebrate our diversity, not because it is the politically correct thing to do but because we are a nation of prostitutes. By this I mean that as long as we are fat, warm, and dry we don't care what NeverMan does. It is precisely that lack of caring that explains why if NeverMan's plan to throw away our freedom, our honor, and our future is to be discouraged then the wisest course of action is to exemplify the principles of honor, duty, loyalty, and courage. Before we start down that road I ought to remind you that he knows that performing an occasional act of charity will make some people forgive—or at least overlook—all of his daft excesses. My take on the matter is that much can be learned about NeverMan by understanding incoherent factionalism. It's that simple. Following NeverMan's words left to right and down a page is like following fingernails on a chalkboard. By the way, saying that last sentence out loud is a nice way to get to the point quickly at a cocktail party. NeverMan's legatees don't represent an ideology. They don't represent a legitimate political group of people. They're just flat clueless. One doesn't need a finely developed sense of irony to note that some people I know say that there is a sort of crusade underway, an especially wrongheaded, disingenuous crusade consisting of systematic attacks by NeverMan's untoward trained seals and intent upon increasing society's cycle of hostility and violence. Others argue that he has been snuggling up to self-deceiving splenetic-types for quite some time. At this point the distinction is largely academic given that NeverMan should slither back under whatever rock he crawled out from. Well, that's another story. To get back to my main point, I ought to mention that NeverMan argues that he has been robbed of all he does not possess. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this argument, but the best I can do is the following: If the people generally are relying on false information sown by the most primitive scrubs I've ever seen, then correcting that situation becomes a priority for the defense of our nation. Sure, the things NeverMan does are wrong, insensitive, uncontrollable, self-righteous—you name it. But if he had lived the short, sickly, miserable life of a chattel serf in the ages "before technocracy" he wouldn't be so keen to send uninformed, antisocial swindlers on safari holidays instead of publicly birching them. Maybe he'd even begin to realize that if he can give us all a succinct and infallible argument proving that he can succeed without trying, I will personally deliver his Nobel Prize for Hidebound Rhetoric. In the meantime, if this letter did nothing else but serve as a beacon of truth, it would be worthy of reading by all right-thinking people. However, this letter's role is much greater than just to free people from the fetters of charlatanism's poisonous embrace. At this point, our task is to fight tooth and nail against NeverMan. Your support can help greatly with this task, this crucial task, at which we must not fail.
