Current Events > Did you ever hear the tragedy of Denny the Booby Bruiser?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought not. It's not a story mipond would tell you. It's a teacher legend. Denny was a chemistry teacher of the school, so powerful and so wise he could use his hands to influence the skin to create bruises... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from firing guns in the tub. The dark side of the Bruise is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice bruised him in his sleep. Ironic, he could save others from the nips, but not himself.

In all my letters, I try harder than anything else to make myself clear. I try to state things as simply and unambiguously as I can because I find that that's the best way to convince my readers that Denny 'Booby Grabber"'s rhetorical posturings are blisteringly ophidian. When writing this letter, I had originally intended to segregate the pure errors of fact in Denny 'Booby Grabber"'s comments from the assertions of questionable judgment where there could be room for dispute. I eventually decided against that approach because Denny 'Booby Grabber"'s methods are much subtler now than ever before. Denny 'Booby Grabber" is more adept at hidden mind control, and his techniques of social brainwash are much more appealingly streamlined and homogenized.

Whether the downfall of our culture can be arrested by a violent rejection of Denny 'Booby Grabber"'s predatory ruses, I am unable to decide; that would require forces with whose existence I am unacquainted. Nevertheless, you may want to consider that Denny 'Booby Grabber" claims that the betterment of society depends upon his plaguing our minds. I have my told-you-so's primed and ready to go as soon as people start noticing that by letting Denny 'Booby Grabber" do something as sleazy as that, we are forgetting that my message has always been that I would very much like to see him crawl back under the rock he slithered out from. And here, I avow, lies a clue to the intellectual vacuum so gapingly apparent in his roorbacks.

Denny 'Booby Grabber" does not hold himself answerable to any code of honor. What are the lessons for us in this? First, it's that I make no bones about the fact that he and his underlings are the most wicked, mean-spirited geeks you can imagineand even then, only in your worst nightmares. And second, this is hardly an ersatz sideshow. It is instead a matter of Denny 'Booby Grabber" not bothering to listen, not taking seriously the foundational work being done to keep the faith. If Denny 'Booby Grabber" were listening, he would find that he's trying to get us to acquiesce to a Faustian bargain. In the short term this bargain may help us oppose evil wherever it rears its imperious head. Unfortunately, in the long term it will enable Denny 'Booby Grabber" to seek temporary tactical alliances with sordid stoners in order to demand that loyalty to insufferable-to-the-core dunces supersedes personal loyalty. As this letter draws to a close, let us remind our competitors that we will force Denny 'Booby Grabber" into early retirement. In this task we shall not flag or fail. Whatever the cost may be, we shall subject his personal attacks to the rigorous scrutiny they warrant. We shall go on to the end. We shall, with growing confidence and growing strength, burn away social illness, exploitation, and human suffering. We shall never surrender.
