Thank you for the opportunity to clear up these ten issues. It's important
that I do so since this is not only a conversation with you but a statement
of my positions on the list and (under google,) for as long as there is an
internet.
I thank you for the opportunity to clear up the air on these important
issues. These are my statements to you and I will be open to question
about them but otherwise I'm busy dealing with the problems of music and art
and my culture's survival in this world.
As best as I could ascertain you seemed to be making these ten statements
over two posts:
1. You know American government and culture better than I do.
2. The President is a Neo-con.
3. Health insurance proves that things can be done quickly. So America
has a parliament.
4. I speak badly of Jews even though I didn't mention Jews in what I wrote:
5. I'm starting a Holocaust Industry.
6. The Tea Party is Zionist.
7. I'm confusing literacy with Scriptures.
8. Non-literate cultures equal ignorance.
9. Visit Europe so I know everyone is not the same.
10. I need to distinguish between the Europeans who stayed home and the
ones who came here and destroyed.
NOTE: for anyone who is a CEO of a large company and addicted to statements
that couldn't even describe how to deal with the local bathroom key or
anyone who is an admirer of Sarah Palin and Twitter I would suggest that you
simply read this. For those who, like myself, enjoyed a serious
discussion ala Karl Barth or Niko Kazantzakis I will write a longer
statement in part II of this discussion simply because I have been accused
of something that is dangerous and not true. I will answer it in full.
But here are the short incomplete, litigious and fashionable answers for
people of the present age. REH
1. You know American government and culture better than I do.
No you don't.
2. The President is a Neo-con.
That's hopelessly superficial.
3. Health insurance proves that things can be done quickly. So America
has a parliament.
That statement is wrong because healthcare has taken sixty years to pass.
As for a parliament, that's silly.
4. I speak badly of Jews even though I didn't mention Jews in what
That is an outrageous statement that must be answered fully because it is an
insult my reputation. Bluntly it's ridiculous.
5. I'm starting a Holocaust Industry.
Does that mean that I have no rights to protest the loss of everything down
to the present as a result of collective guilt?
6. The Tea Party is Zionist.
No it's not. Fundamentalists aren't Zionists.
7. I'm confusing literacy with Scriptures.
This comment is without basis in modern neurology and psycho-linguistics.
8. Non-literate cultures equal ignorance.
This prejudice is chauvinism pure and simple and the root of the great
murder of 98 million people North South and Central America by invaders from
Europe.
9. Visit Europe so I know everyone is not the same.
Are you offering to give my wife and I an all expenses paid vacation to
Europe. Remember, we are poor artists.
10. I need to distinguish between the Europeans who stayed home and the
ones who came here and destroyed.
The ones who stayed home were the winners while the ones who were driven off
were the losers. "Huddled Masses Yearning to breathe free!" If you had
settled your own house and taken responsibility for your relatives, the
descendants of 98 million people would still be alive and flourishing.
Doing these short statements feels like sticking my hand in the toilet.
Sorry Chris, short statements are for ADD. Look at the next post. I
promise you a little Karl Barth.
