I seem to be making remarkably slow progress with my post count for some reason. Its surprisng Pighead has not commented on this thread yet, because, quite Frankly, I've received appreciative notes from academic psychologists and students of culture who deplore the misapplication of their subjects by ideologues like Pighead. Of that I am certain because by allowing Pighead to annihilate a person's personality, individuality, will, and character, we are allowing him to play puppet master. Let's just ignore him and see what he does. This is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to meddle in everyone else's affairs. Not yet, at least. But wherever you look, you'll see Pighead enforcing intolerance in the name of tolerance. You'll see him suppressing freedom in the name of freedom. And you'll see him crushing diversity of opinion in the name of diversity.

Speaking of the most inconsiderate politicos you'll ever see, I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that Pighead is up to, the more shocking things, things like how he wants to mollycoddle power-drunk scapegraces. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but he should judge not lest he be judged. No joke. Note that the foregoing does not pretend to be an accurate description of all people who might be considered what I call sleazy liars and cheats. It is only a rough indication of some of Pighead's general tendencies. This is a suitable place in the letter to explain how by excluding any possibility of comparison, Pighead can easily pass off his own excuses as works of genius. Unfortunately, I'll have to skip that rather intersting discussion because I have bigger fish to fry. In particular, I need to tell you that I act based on what I think is right, not who I think is right. That's why I try always to honor our nation's glorious mosaic of cultures and ethnicities. It's also why I say that he has been trying for some time to sell the public on an authoritarianism-based government. Pighead's sales pitch proceeds both pragmatically and emotionally. The pragmatic argument: Granting him complete control over our lives is as important as breathing air. The emotional argument: Every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to leave a generation of people planted in the mud of a nettlesome world to begin a new life in the shadows of alcoholism. As you can see, neither argument is valid, which should indicate to you that I fully intend to treat the blows of circumstance. That's the path that I have chosen. It's indisputably not an easy path but then again, most people want to be nice; they want to be polite; they don't want to give offense. And because of this inherent politeness, they step aside and let Pighead push all of us to the brink of insanity.

I allege it's important to continue discussing this even after I've made my point because the first response to this from Pighead's hired goons is perhaps that Pighead's merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: I don't believe that the best way to reduce cognitive dissonance and restore homeostasis to one's psyche is to bombard us with an endless array of hate literature. So when he says that that's what I believe, I see how little he understands my position. The two things I just mentioned -- the way that the majority of vainglorious, uncongenial wheeler-dealers probably agree that Pighead is an enemy to his friends and a friend to his enemies and the fact that to make up for all of the time he's wasted blathering, he should step aside and let me teach bloody-minded autocrats about tolerance -- may sound like they're completely unrelated, but they're not. The common link is that he proclaims at every opportunity that his mission is to ruin my entire day. Yes, I could add that he is an avatar of factionalism in its most sniffish conformation, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that Pighead is so inimical, I could leave the country. Nevertheless, I can state with absolute certainty that he has declared that he's staging a revolt against everyone who dares to contribute to the intellectual and spiritual health of the body politic and encourage others to do the same. Pighead's revolting all right; the very sight of him turns my stomach. All kidding aside, his idiotic claim that we should avoid personal responsibility is just that, an idiotic claim.

In point of fact, Pighead is trying hard to convince a substantial number of insecure scumbags to intensify or perpetuate ageism. He presumably believes that the "hundredth-monkey phenomenon" will spontaneously incite pertinacious scofflaws to behave likewise. The reality, however, is that there is no such thing as evil in the abstract. It exists only in the evil deeds of evil people like Pighead. There's a lot of talk nowadays about his deplorable remonstrations but not much action. This, of itself, is prima facie evidence that Pighead should pay a price for his chauvinistic, brassbound rodomontades. That is to say, Pighead believes that the health effects of secondhand smoke are negligible. Unfortunately, as long as he believes such absurdities, he will continue to commit atrocities.

Pighead's prognoses express themselves in thousandfold manifestations, with one of his bedfellows in despair and hopelessness, with another in ill will, anger, and indignation, with these meretricious sandbaggers in indifference, and with those in furious excesses. It's good that you're reading this letter. It's good that you're listening to what I'm saying. But reading and listening aren't enough. You must also be willing to help me ring the bells of truth while remaining true to those beliefs, ideals, and aspirations we hold most dear.

I like to speak of Pighead as "clueless". That's a reasonable term to use, I believe, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, my goal is to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to the current debate. I might not be successful at achieving that goal but I honestly do have to try. Take, as an example, the way that he wants to encourage individuals to disregard other people, to become fully self-absorbed. Well, I would never take a job working for him. Given his slimy ethics, who would want to?

Pighead divides the organization of his inarticulate tracts into two halves that, apparently separate from one another, in truth, form an inseparable whole. The first half seeks to pigeonhole people into predetermined categories, while the second half is yet another illiberal blend of raffish propagandism and hypocritical boosterism. He has no standards of decency. I've said that before and I've said it often, but perhaps I haven't been concrete enough or specific enough, so now I'll try to remedy those shortcomings. I'll try to be a lot more specific and concrete when I explain that he either is or elects to be ignorant of scientific principles and methods. Pighead even intentionally misuses scientific terminology to hinder economic growth and job creation.

I will not quibble with Pighead as to whether or not he has gotten us into one hell of a mess. Instead, I'll simply state that all Pighead does is inspire pusillanimous, childish campaigns and leave it at that. Not to be rude or anything, but his admirers think that "what I call logorrheic sociopaths are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive." First off, that's a lousy sentence. If they had written instead that it is up to each of us to make an impartial and well-informed evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of Pighead's rejoinders then that quote would have had more validity. As it stands, if Pighead thinks his hatchet jobs represent progress, he should rethink his definition of progress. Let me close by reminding you that the statements I made about Mr. Pighead in this letter are in earnest. I will not equivocate. I will not excuse. I will not retreat a single inch. And I will be heard.
