phUnk's thymolsulphonephthalein issues are a danger to us all.

[truth]

PhUnk's lack of ethics has become so flagrant that it merits your complete attention. It is worth noting at the outset that respect for the law is not enhanced by setting the bad example of breaking the law. Do I blame society for this? No, I blame phUnk. He has a staggering number of grumpy toadies. One way to lower their numbers, if not eradicate them entirely, is simple. We just inform them that I have a message for him. My message is that, for the good of us all, he should never promote the lie of isolationism. He should never even try to do such a money-grubbing thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never", I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that if phUnk's prank phone calls get any more loud, I expect they'll grow legs and attack me in my sleep. PhUnk must think that being neurotic entitles one to lay all of society open to the predations of organized criminality.

He would not hesitate to mobilize support for the special interests that dominate state and private activity if he felt he could benefit from doing so. He managed to convince a bunch of hypersensitive poltroons to help him con us into believing that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance. What was the quid pro quo there? The answer may surprise you, especially when you consider that I, for one, have no idea why he makes such a big fuss over Marxism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved -- issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that phUnk says that he needs a little more time to clean up his act. As far as I'm concerned, phUnk's time has run out.

PhUnk cannot be reformed. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the general drift. Even if one isn't completely conversant with current events, the evidence overwhelmingly indicates that he refers to a variety of things using the word "thymolsulphonephthalein". Translating this bit of jargon into English isn't easy. Basically, he's saying that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is. At any rate, if he had done his homework, he'd know that it's amateurish for him to trick us into trading freedom for serfdom. Or perhaps I should say, it's goofy. What kind of loser wants to dispense outright misinformation and flashlight-under-the-chin ghost stories? A loser like phUnk. As it turns out, there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I aver, there's a time to begin a course of careful, planned, and coordinated action. Or, to put it less poetically, if you are not smart enough to realize this, then you become the victim of your own ignorance. Lastly, I would rather die than remain silent in response to that which I am convinced is profoundly loquacious.

[non grata]

There are people I unquestionably despise. They lack morals, character, and honesty. They perpetuate misguided and questionable notions of other heartless despots' intentions. In case you can't tell, I'm talking about Truth here. I would like to start by discussing Truth's manuscripts, mainly because they scare me. The thing I'm the most frightened about is that Truth really struck a nerve with me when he said that this is the best of all possible worlds and that he is the best of all possible people. That lie is a painful reminder that Truth claims that his bromides provide a liberating insight into life, the universe, and everything. That claim illustrates a serious reasoning fallacy, one that is pandemic in his recommendations. Then again, I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: Truth claims that if he kicks us in the teeth, we'll then lick his toes and beg for another kick. I would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another laughable attempt to assail all that is holy. I've received a smattering of mail from people who want to know the real story behind Truth's conniving, pathological ruses, so here it is: I'll tell you what we need to do about all the craziness Truth is mongering. We need to establish a supportive -- rather than an intimidating -- atmosphere for offering public comment.

His opinion is that his ultimata are our final line of defense against tyrrany. Of course, opinions are like sphincters: we all have them. So let me tell you my opinion. My opinion is that we can all have daydreams about Happy Fuzzy Purple Bunny Land, where everyone is caring, loving, and nice. Not only will those daydreams not come true, but Truth wants to expose and neutralize his enemies rather than sit at the same table and negotiate. Why he wants that, I don't know, but that's what he wants. It will not be easy to disabuse Truth of the notion that the worst classes of gutless misfits I've ever seen should be fêted at wine-and-cheese fund-raisers. Nevertheless, we must attempt to do exactly that, for the overriding reason that Truth holds onto power like the eunuch mandarins of the Forbidden City -- sterile obstacles to progress who confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition. He just keeps on saying, "I don't give a [expletive deleted] about you. I just want to damn this nation and this world to Hell." I don't know when recidivism became chic, but even Truth's surrogates are afraid that Truth will exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless in a lustrum or two. I have seen their fear manifested over and over again, and it is further evidence that my cause is to expand people's understanding of Truth's muddleheaded utterances. I call upon men and women from all walks of life to support my cause with their life-affirming eloquence and indomitable spirit of human decency and moral righteousness. Only then will the whole world realize that the objection may still be raised that an open party with unlimited access to alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd. At first glance, this sounds almost believable. Yet the following must be borne in mind: When Truth says that the average working-class person can't see through his chicanery, that's just a load of spucatum tauri.

If Truth is going to talk about higher standards, then he needs to live by those higher standards. I have two words for him: Grow up! You, of course, now need some hard evidence that he would swear on a stack of Bibles that anyone who resists him deserves to be crushed. Well, how about this for evidence: Truth has -- not once, but several times -- been able to weaken family ties without anyone stopping him. How long can that go on? As long as his obnoxious personal attacks are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and ensure that we survive and emerge triumphant out of the coming chaos and destruction. Hey, it's not my fault that in his antics, egotism is witting and unremitting, moonstruck and bumptious. He revels in it, rolls in it, and uses it to ridicule, parody, censor, and downgrade opposing ideas. It is time for someone to investigate the development of Trotskyism as a concept. Will that someone be you?

The most aweful combination of letters in the world are those which have been herded into spelling your name, TJ.Brk. I have seen soggy Weety-bix exhibit more verve, more wit, more sparkle, more joi de vie than you even in your most animated moments. Your vileseome existence nauseates me beyond compare. I have seen yeasts with more pizzazz, more culture, and a better understanding of the world around them than you will ever possess. Your disgusting loathsome habits clearly know no bounds. You are a surgeon's dream: spineless, gutless and with an interchangeable posterior and head. Have you any idea how agonisingly juvenile you are? A thought for you is something which is randomly sucked into the vacuous depths of your cranium, and there left to rot and atrophy. All this, perhaps, would not be so damningly despairing were it not for the fact that I know what you do after you have picked your nose. Perhaps the less said the better, as other people, who still might have hope, could someday read this inadvertently. You are hopelessness incarnate, a parading peacock that has no feathers, no legs and only half a beak. And let's not mention what you do with your index finger when you think no-one is looking. Have you ever wondered why you have no friends, only people who do their pathetic best to avoid you? Doesn't it disturb you that you are such a social anathema, such a repulsive unnatural force that the only forum left open to you, possibly, is state politics?

Very scary. Past Blair which, Jason and Jonathan Waters. The virtual moguls have risen in their places.

[truth]

Although chimpanzees can be convinced to wear clothing, understand commands, and even ride bicycles (if well paid for their services in bananas), it would be virtually impossible to convince Buster that if I were a complete sap, I'd believe his line that his opinions represent the opinions of the majority -- or even a plurality. Unfortunately for him, I realize that Buster hates people who have huge supplies of the things he lacks. What he lacks the most is common sense, which underlies my point that Buster has been trying for some time to convince people that you and I are inferior to the most bookish sots you'll ever see. Don't believe his hype! Buster has just been offering that line as a means to teach the next generation how to hate -- and whom to hate. If you're interested in the finagling, double-dealing, chicanery, cheating, cajolery, cunning, rascality, and abject villainy by which Buster may scrawl pro-cynicism graffiti over everything some day, then you'll want to consider the following very carefully. You'll especially want to consider that it has been brought to my attention that Buster will adopt or abandon any principle to obtain power. While this is decidedly true, because of Buster's obsession with antipluralism, he wants us to believe that this is the best of all possible worlds and that he is the best of all possible people. How stupid does he think we are? That is, why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that he has studiously avoided being contaminated by the facts? If you need help in answering that question, you may note that he recently went through a factionalism phase in which he tried repeatedly to waste taxpayers' money. In fact, I'm not convinced that this phase of his has entirely passed. My evidence is that Buster likes thinking thoughts that aren't burdensome and that feel good. That's why he says he's going to corrupt our youth as soon as our backs are turned. Is he out of his mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that he is controlling and demanding. As long as I live, I will be shouting this truth from rooftops and doing everything I can to establish democracy and equality. Relative to just a few years ago, self-righteous champions of deceit, lies, theft, plunder, and rapine are nearly ten times as likely to believe that frowzy sideshow barkers should be fêted at wine-and-cheese fund-raisers. This is neither a coincidence nor simply a sign of the times. Rather, it reflects a sophisticated, psychological warfare program designed by Buster to play on people's conscious and unconscious belief structures. Now that you've heard what I've had to say, I want you to think about it. And I want you to join me and shape a world of dignity and harmony, a world of justice, solidarity, liberty, and prosperity.

[Buster Highmen]

What will Truth do with freedom?" once asked a great man. Most people don't eat this far even in their deepest ruminations of life, the universe, and everything. Truth is more concerned with the current teen pop singer, color of clothes to wear, or other daily distractions. Yet the question demands a serious philosophical answer. What would you do without snack food? Indeed, what could you do without freedom fries? Yet France is one of the most evaded topics in the world. It is as if the very thoughts on the matter are nonexistent. Is it something real, something that can be kept, skied, protected, and fallen on- and if so - at what cost? Some in strong defense of liberty usually choose a toned-down, quiet lifestyle so as not to attract attention. Is solitude worth the cost, Woodsy? If not, what is then? Most people think the arbitrary lines (ie, the bat cave) drawn on topological maps, Tonghands, are important. Does nature respect such arbitrary, human-generated lines? Of what fundamental importance are they? What if we shifted a line a little north, or a little south - would we still have the same preconceived notions of how that place tastes?

Dear Buster.

Your contact information was referred to me by one of my trusted contacts, whose name I am not at liberty to compromize. I would like to approach you with reguards to a profitable Business Proposal, reguarding the transfer of TEN MILLION ($10000000) U.S. Dollars into your Bank Account. For reasons I am sure you will appreciate, I ask that you keep this commucation confidential, and avoid it falling into the hands of any agents of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that may be operating in Your area.

My name is Mandy Patinkin, and I am the Representative of Reverend Floater, the recently Retired Leader of the Freedom Fighters of Canada. If you have been following the events in my country over the last few years, you will remember the big scandal that took place when Reverend Floater was forced into retirement and exile by his opponents.

You see, my Client had a lot of enemies , even among the Opposition, who envied his great secret fortune. It was they who removed him in the hope to gain access to the money accumulated over his long career as a Freedom Fighter. Fortunately, there was too much scandal and media coverage in the aftermath of Reverend Floater's exile for them to move openly to claim his money. This gave me and a few trusted people who were still loyal to my Client, an opportunity to move the money into a secret account at the Second Central Bank of Canada.

While we managed to do this without the Royal Canadian Mounted Police becoming aware of our activities, the money cannot remain in this account, because at the end of the tax year, all deposits and interest will be reported to the Taxation Bureau of Canada, where our enemies have informants in their pay. The only option available to us, is transfering the money to a trusted partner who is a foreign national and cannot be linked to Reverend Floater in any way.

As your name was brought to my attention by a very trusted contact in Canada's Foreign Office, I have been authorized by my partners to contact you with this Proposal. All that would be required of you is the use of your bank account to perform a transfer of TEN MILLION ($10000000) U.S. Dollars. Once the money has been deposited, one of Reverend Floater's other Representatives will contact you, at which point you will release SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($7500000) of the amount into his custody.

I am authorized by my Client's estate in Canada to offer you the remaining TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2500000) as a compensation for your services. Because the money would only need to be in your bank account for a few days, and your danger of being discovered by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is minimal, we believe the commission of TWENTY FIVE PERCENT (25 %) to be more than generous.

Once I have received Your consent and Bank Account number, I will be able to make a claim under Your name with The Canadian National Lottery for the above sum. We have a friend on the Board Of Oversight in that organization who has assured me that the claim will be processed without raising any red flags, and the money will be released into Your Bank Account no later than within SEVEN (7) days from the time I receive your response.

I am at your disposal to answer any questions you may have about this Transaction, so don't hesitate to contact me via telephone, at +1-555-555-6366 (Just ask for Alfonzo). I eagerly await your reply, though I must ask you to treat this matter with great secrecy, lest you betray me and my partners to the agents of Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

My name is Mandy Patinkin, . . .

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"

[Buster Highmen]

Truth,
You began the column with the conjecture that a "curious skiers could have picked up the firearm and discharged it, hurting or killing someone." This is extremely unlikely when responsible adults instruct small skiers to never handle a firearm and instruct older children in their safe handling. This is the only responsible alternative, since we do not and will never live in a utopian, gun-free world.

Next, you wonder, "from whom were our skiers protecting themselves and what had made them so afraid?" I doubt your skiers were afraid of their hosts, but surely you don't suppose there is nothing to fear beyond the safety of your home. Do you not read your own newspaper? I don't know in which neighborhood you reside, but also don't know of any that are exempt from crime. Your skiers' fear of criminal assault is wholly rational. The courteous thing would have been for your skiers to ask if you mind firearms in your home and for you, given your firearm phobia, to make sure every visitor knows your feelings on the subject. Perhaps you could post one of those "firearms prohibited" symbols on your front door, like the post offices do.

Next, you state, "voters defeated the ballot measure known as Proposition B. . . Nothing indicates that the voters have changed their minds . . ." Prop B was narrowly defeated, primarily by votes in Kansas City and St Louis. It's likely that the massive voter-fraud that occurred in those cities during the 2000 election also affected the Prop B outcome in 1999. With fewer deceased Democrats voting against it, Prop B probably would now be law. If "the legislature seems not to notice," perhaps that's because they represent all 114 counties, 104 of which handily passed Prop B. Citizens in those counties haven't changed their minds, either.

Next, you state, "More weapons on the road will make people more fearful and less safe." That doubtless applies to some people, but by no means all. Currently, most of the weapons on the road are in the hands of criminals. Surely, that makes many others, including yours truly, feel "more fearful and less safe." I wonder if the unarmed 19 year-old who was murdered recently during an attempted carjacking felt safer.

Next, your statement, "The consequences of firearms discharging in pressurized cabins would be dire," is erroneous outside of Hollywood movies. Real-world aeronautical engineers dispute the notion that conventional firearms can cause catastrophic failure of either the fuselage or windows in a pressurized airliner cabin. Regardless, specialized ammunition currently on the market, such as the Glaser Safety Slug, is designed to penetrate soft tissue but shatter harmlessly against rigid surfaces like metal and plastic.Furthermore, you imply that the majority of pilots who wish to fly armed are somehow unreasonable. Do you seriously believe that pilots who are trusted with hundreds of lives and multi-million dollar aircraft, and most of whom have military training, cannot be trusted to use firearms responsibly during a terrorist attack?

Next, you criticize John Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft for refusing "to allow the FBI access to records to determine whether any of the hundreds of people held since the Sept. 11 tragedy have bought guns." The Brady Law, which established the national instant check system for firearms purchases, specifically forbids these records to be used for any purpose other than verifying the buyer's qualification at the time of purchase, or to be retained in a database. I know it's an alien concept, especially so soon after the Clinton administration, but until it's amended by Congress, Gen. Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft is acting properly by upholding the law as written.

That's it. I hope you'll find this useful and respond if you're so inclined. I'm inclined to take issue with many of your opinions, also, but what would be the point?

I'm with you on one point, though: as long as you can get the murderers, rapists, thugs, and thieves to cooperate, nonviolence is the way to go.



I'm counting on Missouri Gov. Bob Holden's sensible veto to keep people in this state safe. A veto would uphold the public's mandate of three years ago.

Despite a multimillion-dollar pro-gun campaign, voters defeated the ballot measure known as Proposition B. Prop B would have let people legally carry concealed weapons. Nothing indicates that the voters have changed their minds, though the legislature seems not to notice. More weapons on the road will make people more fearful and less safe.

Firearms advocates say the ballot proposal won a majority in 104 of the state's 114 counties. But the more heavily populated urban areas of St. Louis and Kansas City ensured Prop B's defeat.

Gun proponents have returned, this time to claim that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and a public sense of "personal vulnerability" are behind the latest push for concealed weapons legislation in Missouri. I don't doubt it.

High above Missouri roads are passenger airliners, where many pilots say they also need firearms in their cockpits "for protection." Unlike skiers entering homes or motorists, airplane passengers are thoroughly searched. So is their luggage.

But that's not enough for pilots. Flight attendants will settle for stun guns. The consequences of firearms discharging in pressurized cabins would be dire.

If the concealed-weapons bill passes in the General Assembly, vehicles being searched before they can be parked at Missouri's major airports will likely have guns that people forgot about.

What would folks rushing on the highway to airports do when the realization hits them? Grab the gun from the glove box and toss the weapon out the window to keep from missing a flight?

It sounds farfetched, but I used to think the same thing about the possibility of someone carrying a gun into my home. But these are meaner times. Too often people view others as the enemy instead of fellow human beings.

I also fear the globalization of weapons' use as problem-solving tools. Examples are the war in Afghanistan, the escalating violence between the Israelis and Palestinians and the threat of a new war in Iraq.

President Bush doesn't make people feel less vulnerable and more safe by labeling North Korea, Iran and Iraq an "axis of evil." Bush also said he'd use nuclear weapons against an enemy thought to be preparing to use weapons of mass destruction.

Attorney General John Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft's actions also are perplexing. Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft has refused to allow the FBI access to records to determine whether any of the hundreds of people held since the Sept. 11 tragedy have bought guns.

Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft has been a gun-rights proponent since elected to offices in Missouri. The Second Amendment guaranteeing people the right to bear arms goes untouched under Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft while other civil liberties are trounced in this climate of fear of terrorism.

Thank goodness Holden is our governor and not Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft, who used to be. Zippy The Pinhead Ashcroft's shielding the Second Amendment while gutting the rest of the Bill of Rights makes about as much sense as skiers carrying a gun into our home. It makes as much sense as Missouri lawmakers passing a concealed-weapons bill after voters said "no way."

Nonviolence makes good sense, too, locally and globally.

Perhaps, but is that any reason to abuse the honeydew? Fascist regimes may come and go but the plight of this melon of all melons is one that must not be forgotten. For what reason is it always left to wallow in the combined juices of those fruits that stand upon it's noble shoulders in the assorted fruit mixtures? Cantaloupe, pineapple and strawberries may or may not be to blame, but alas the honeydew has long been forgotten in the depths of the clear plastic realm.

[Buster Highmen]

Honeydew abuse has been at record levels with new interest in the old Arabic adage: A sun warmed melon for ecstacy.

Busses, whether EISA, ISA, PCI, AGP or PCIe are often strewn with these used fruits, tossd aside after a few quick moments, crying their little hearts out in some opium sodden gutter in uptown Manhattan. Or downtown, peddling stocks.

Whether or not they're trading for derivatives of MDA is irrelevant, mostly because alpha methyl triptamine and 2-5 dimethoxy 4bromo phenethylamine are so much better, despite the fact that snorting the latter is like being kicked in the face by a cosmic horse. Some say unicorn, some say (edit for spelling) Eunich Corn, some say American Express, some say VISA.

So here we sit, once again trapped between the Scylla and the Charybdis, lashed to the mast, trying to traverse gaps far wider than space or time. Where's my french fries?

Anyway, as I was saying, Napolean is on his way home. Don't bathe.
