OK, you provoked me. Again.
And I put it to you that I am bound by Quality to hate you. Perhaps not you
as a person, and not everything you say (you wrote something in Lila's child
about the MOQ being a "code of art" and a lot of other stuff in there that I
really liked) but these values you are expressing - I must hate them, with
all my heart.
The same way I must hate Islamic fundamentalism, Racism and stuff like that
I HAVE to hate republican "ideology".
People yelling Allah akbar, Sieg Heil or Freedom or chanting the name given
to an administrative entity called a nation must be identified as the
champions of the Social Level, fighting the intellectual level with all they've
got. And I am bound by evolution to fight back.
I keep saying over and over aging. And ideology cantered around the freedom
to earn money is undeniably in service of the social level. It isn't more
difficult than that. And Freedom. It's just a word.
Pompously elitist and sincerely yours
Chris
From: "Platt Holden"
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many
others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and
among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to
support more government programs, in other words, redistribution of
wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a
feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had
participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that
her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he
thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes
on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed
objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she
indicated so to her father.
He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she
answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it
was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult
course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out
and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a
boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent
all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?' She
replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she
never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus;
college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and
lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung
over.
Her father asked his daughter, why don't you go to the Dean's office and
ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has
a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a
fair and equal distribution of GPA.
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
back, 'That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair? I've worked really
hard
for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey
has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my
tail off!'
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome to the
Republican party.'

Platt
