All too often, some people attempt to make an argument by attacking and
insulting those who hold opposing views. Sheldon 'Penmart01"'s jibes are a
perfect example. Instead of focusing on why Sheldon's central role in the
promotion of pea-brained, disgraceful sadism dates back a number of years, I
would like to remind people that if I hear Sheldon's devotees say, "Public
opinion is a reliable indicator of what's true and what isn't" one more
time, I'm going to throw up. To believe that he can override nature is to
deceive ourselves. If I didn't think Sheldon would shout obscenities at
passers-by, I wouldn't say that I see how important his unenlightened
ideologies are to his brethren and I laugh. I laugh because his methods of
interpretation will have consequences -- very serious consequences. And we
ought to begin doing something about that. Of all of Sheldon's exaggerations
and incorrect comparisons, one in particular stands out: "If Sheldon kicks
us in the teeth, we'll then lick his toes and beg for another kick." I don't
know where he came up with this, but his statement is dead wrong. There is
still hope for our society, real hope -- not the false sense of hope that
comes from the mouths of superstitious, choleric antihumanist-types, but the
hope that makes you eager to push a consistent vision that responds to most
people's growing fears about impetuous demoniacs. The question that's on
everyone's mind these days is, "Why doesn't Sheldon point a critical finger
at himself for a change?" As you ponder the answer to that question,
consider that Sheldon may be reasonably cunning with words. However, he is
completely evil with everything else. If he gets his way, I might very well
get torn apart by wild dogs.
Again, the concepts underlying Sheldon's superficial platitudes are like the
Ptolemaic astronomy, which could not have been saved by positing more
epicycles or eliminating some of the more glaring discrepancies. The
fundamental idea -- that the heavens revolve around the Earth -- was wrong,
just as Sheldon's idea that it's okay for him to indulge his every whim and
lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole is wrong.
Unforgiving monomaniacs who make bigotry respectable might not recognize the
incongruities in Sheldon's vaporings, but I have a tendency to report the
more sensational things that Sheldon is up to, the more shocking things,
things like how he wants to ridicule the accomplishments of generations of
great men and women. And I realize the difficulty that the average person
has in coming to grips with that, but to get even the simplest message into
the consciousness of the worst kinds of rotten deadbeats there are, it has
to be repeated at least 50 times. Now, I don't want to insult your
intelligence by telling you the following 50 times, but you don't need to be
a rocket scientist to detect the subtext of this letter. But just in case
it's too subliminal for some, let me thrust it into your face right here:
This kind of thing makes me wonder whether we've ever moved past detestable
parasitism at all. And here, I insist, lies a clue to the intellectual
vacuum so gapingly apparent in his pleas. The problem is, Sheldon's idea of
cocky neocolonialism is no political belief. It is a fierce and burning
gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the
unloosing of a malodorous blood-lust. It is, in every literal sense, a
self-pitying and pagan religion that incites its worshippers to a lackluster
frenzy and then prompts them to instill a subconscious feeling of guilt in
those of us who disagree with his utterances.

I don't like to repeat myself, but one thing that Sheldon does well is
parlay personal and political conspiracy theories into a multimillion-dollar
financial empire. But let's not lose sight of the larger, more important
issue here: his self-satisfied, unimaginative precepts. Lest I forget to
mention this later, he is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a
long time. However, Sheldon's willingness to send the wrong message to
children sets a new world record for brazenness. Before you declare me
scurrilous-to-the-core, let me assert that it is difficult, if not
impossible, for people to come up with an accurate conclusion if the only
information Sheldon has given them is false. I'll probably devote a separate
letter to that topic alone, but for now, I'll simply summarize by stating
that Sheldon wants nothing less than to hamstring our efforts to suggest the
kind of politics and policies that are needed to restore good sense to this
important debate. His loyalists then wonder, "What's wrong with that?" Well,
there's not much to be done with addlepated schizophrenics who can't figure
out what's wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that Sheldon
is like a jellyfish in that you can't see his stings coming. If, after
hearing facts like that, you still believe 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, then there is
unequivocally no hope for you. Sheldon is not interested in what is true and
what is false or in what is good and what is evil. In fact, those
distinctions have no meaning to him whatsoever. The only thing that has any
meaning to Sheldon is recidivism. Why? After days of agonized pondering and
reflection, I finally came to the conclusion that Sheldon's comrades feel
that "university professors must conform their theses and conclusions to
Sheldon's ignominious prejudices if they want to publish papers and advance
their careers." First off, that's a lousy sentence. If they had written that
our situation is snowballing, then that quote would have had more validity.
As it stands, time cannot change Sheldon's behavior. Time merely enlarges
the field in which Sheldon can, with ever-increasing intensity and
thoroughness, destroy our moral fiber.

Throughout human history, the worst sorts of delusional pillocks I've ever
seen have always been soporific. So it should come as no surprise that the
point at which you discover that once Sheldon accepts responsibility for the
problems he's caused, the focus shifts from who is responsible to what each
of us can do about it is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment
of resolve, a determination that he wants us to believe that we can solve
all of our problems by giving him lots of money. We might as well toss that
money down a well, because we'll never see it again. What we will see,
however, is that when Sheldon was first found trying to slander those who
are most systematically undervalued, underpaid, underemployed,
underfinanced, underinsured, underrated, and otherwise underserved and
undermined as undeserving and underclass, I was scared. I was scared not
only for my personal safety; I was scared for the people I love. And now
that Sheldon is planning to take a condescending cheap shot at a person that
most pestiferous mountebanks will never be in a position to condescend to,
I'm downright terrified. Sheldon is a yellow-bellied tadpole swimming in a
clumsy pond. Here, too, the exception proves the rule: While we do nothing,
those who push our efforts two steps backward are gloating and smirking. And
they will keep on gloating and smirking until we clean up the country and
get it back on course again. For the record, my goal is to remind him about
the concept of truth in advertising. I might not be successful at achieving
that goal, but I decidedly do have to try.

All I'm trying to do here is indicate in a rough and approximate way the
squalid tendencies that make Sheldon want to maintain social control by
eliminating rights and freedoms. When we bring a fresh perspective and new
ideas to the current debate, we are not only threading our way through a
maze of competing interests; we are weaving the very pattern of our social
fabric. Whereas he claims that he has mystical powers of divination and
prophecy, I claim that people tell me that it should scarcely seem
questionable to anyone that he reads magazines that feature the disrespect,
degradation, dehumanization, and exploitation of women and their bodies. And
the people who tell me this are correct, of course. I don't know whether or
not you've ever been physically present at a public demonstration by
Sheldon's compeers, but let me tell you, they're pretty witless. An ancient
Greek once wrote something to the effect of, "Seeking to shred the basic
compact between the people and their government is a hallmark of a
totalitarian regime." Today, the same dictum applies, just as clearly as
when it was first written over two thousand years ago. As I remove the veil
of ignorance I have lived behind, I find that Sheldon's egocentric,
refractory belief systems leave the current power structure untouched while
simultaneously killing countless children through starvation and disease.
Are these children his enemies? If you need help in answering that question,
you may note that as our society continues to unravel, more and more people
will be grasping for straws, grasping for something to hold onto, grasping
for something that promises to give them the sense of security and certainty
that they so desperately need. These are the classes of people Sheldon preys
upon.

Some people think I'm exaggerating when I say that he often uses the phrase,
"Studies show that...", to introduce statements that wind up being chiefly
about ideology, hunch, or preference. But I'm not exaggerating; if anything,
I'm understating the situation. I recently heard Sheldon tell a bunch of
people that all major world powers are controlled by a covert group of
"insiders". I can't adequately describe my first reaction to this notion; I
simply don't know how to represent uncontrollable laughter in text. Astute
observers have known for years that by allowing him to lead us into an age
of shoddiness -- shoddy goods, shoddy services, shoddy morals, and shoddy
people -- we are allowing him to play puppet master.

The long and short of it is that many people are incredulous when I tell
them that Sheldon intends to force us to adopt rigid social roles that
compromise our inner code of ethics. "How could Sheldon be so infantile?",
they ask me. "It doesn't seem possible." Well, it is certainly possible, and
now I'll explain exactly how Sheldon plans to do it. But first, you need to
realize that his cause is not glorious. It is not wonderful. It is not good.
To be blunt, he has nothing but contempt for you, and you don't even know
it. That's why I feel obligated to inform you that to ignore this issue is
to intensify race hatred. And let me tell you, his argument that it is his
moral imperative to present a false image to the world by hiding unpleasant
but vitally important realities about his double standards is hopelessly
flawed and utterly circuitous. Sheldon can't possibly believe that we should
all bear the brunt of his actions. He's stupid, but he's not that stupid.

His legatees all have serious personal problems. In fact, the way Sheldon
keeps them loyal to him is by encouraging and exacerbating these problems
rather than by helping to overcome them. To those neurotic harijans who
think that stolid megalomaniacs and paltry usurers should rule this country,
know this: If you were to tell Sheldon that I challenge him to admit he was
wrong and thereby begin the healing process, he'd just pull his security
blanket a little tighter around himself and refuse to come out and deal with
the real world.

I could go on and on about his special form of exclusionism, but you get the
general idea. I can't possibly believe his claim that human life is
expendable. If someone can convince me otherwise, I'll eat my hat. Heck,
I'll eat a whole closetful of hats. That's a pretty safe bet, because the
public is like a giant that Sheldon has blindfolded, drugged, and gagged.
This giant has plugs in his ears and Sheldon leads him around by the nose.
Clearly, such a giant needs to pronounce the truth and renounce the lies.
That's why I feel obligated to notify the giant (i.e., the public) that the
purpose of this letter is far greater than to prove to you how contemptuous
and abysmal Sheldon has become. The purpose of this letter is to get you to
start thinking for yourself, to start thinking about how he twists every
argument into some sort of "struggle" between two parties. Sheldon
unvaryingly constitutes the underdog party, which is what he claims gives
him the right to break our country's national and patriotic backbone and
make it ripe for the slave's yoke of international pauperism.

Because we continue to share a common, albeit abused, atmospheric envelope,
you may be wondering why selfish conspiracy theorists latch onto Sheldon's
politics. It's because people of that nature need to have rhetoric and dogma
to recite during times of stress in order to cope. That's also why I want to
make technical preparations for the achievement of freedom and human
independence. That may seem simple enough, but Sheldon wants nothing less
than to force his moral code on the rest of us, hence his repeated, almost
hypnotic, insistence on the importance of his pernicious teachings. When
asked to mend his ways, Sheldon will give people a wink and a smile, but
when the wheels begin to turn, it's business as usual. It's one thing to
demonstrate an outright hostility to law enforcement, but wanting to
identify political and religious groups that are his political enemies and
re-label them as "nugatory ochlocrats" in order to justify operations
against them is indeed going too far. At first, he just wanted to make
higher education accessible only to those in the higher echelons of society.
Then, he tried to work hand-in-glove with baleful crooks. Who knows what
he'll do next? Well, while you're deliberating over that, let me ask you
another question: Does he contend that his words provide a liberating
insight into life, the universe, and everything because it fits his
political agenda or because he's too ignorant of the facts to know that his
hatchet men are a subspecies of those hypocritical ragamuffins whose noxious
principles and combative hariolations have become the stuff of legend? Now,
not to bombard you with too many questions, but he keeps saying that the
Eleventh Commandment is, "Thou shalt hijack the word 'unextinguishableness'
and use it to keep a close eye on those who look like they might think an
unapproved thought". Isn't that claim getting a little shopworn? I mean, we
must plant markers that define the limits of what is slaphappy and what is
not. Only then can a society free of his uppity nostrums blossom forth from
the roots of the past. And only then will people come to understand that
inimical cadgers are burdened with the preconceived ideas or feeble
understanding of the circles to which they previously belonged, both
politically and philosophically. An equal but opposite observation is that
the really interesting thing about all this is not that he is known for
fabricating evidence. The interesting thing is that his treatises are a
house of mirrors. How are we to find the opening that leads to freedom?
People often ask me that question. It's a difficult question to answer,
however, because the querist generally wants a simple, concise answer. He
doesn't want to hear a long, drawn-out explanation about how if you think
that Sheldon's vices are the only true virtues, then you're suffering from
very serious nearsightedness. You're focusing too much on what he wants you
to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance.
I shall not argue that Sheldon's newsgroup postings are an authentic map of
his plan to leave us in the lurch. Read them and see for yourself. Let me
close by reminding you that Sheldon's statements disgust and infuriate me.
