Oh man did this jog some memories.
I know that shade of Rambler green. We used to build model cars, my brothers and me, back when kids did that sort of thing. The Testors paint rack was right at the end of the aisle lined on both sides with 1:20 scale 1950s-60s cars. We always thought that Ramblers were old people cars, so we never built one, but we did grab some of that green. Now, I wish I could buy a Rambler. It's kitschy Skitch.
Caramel apples, honor system. Jesus. Remember that?
Don't know about you Skytch, but we had very few trick or treaters this year. Maybe it's the flu thing.
Hey wait a second....Skitch?
Skitch?
THAT Skitch?
Well, well, well. I've been waiting for this opportunity for weeks.
I wanted to respond to Skitch earlier, but I was so busy, I simply
did not have the time. Nevertheless, what I need to say is so
important, I knew I simply had to allocate a few minutes to write a
brief letter on the subject. Before I start, however, I should state
that to understand what Skitch's particularly maladroit form of ageism
has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look
at its historical context and development as a form of incomprehensible
politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response
to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the
Bolshevik Revolution. It is deeply unfortunate that I am burning to
know what classes of morally crippled, twisted reasons exist in the
heads of those who undermine everyone's capacity to see, or change, the
world as a whole, because if we are to treat the blows of circumstance,
then we must be guided by a healthy and progressive ideology, not by
the scary and worthless ideologies that Skitch promotes. Not
surprisingly, I have a problem with his use of the phrase, "We all know
that...". With this phrase, Skitch doesn't need to prove his claim that
honesty and responsibility have no cash value and are therefore
worthless; he merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, he
claims that no one is smart enough to see through his transparent lies.
That claim is preposterous and, to use Skitch's own language, overtly
smarmy. No history can justify it.
Also let me say that Skitch's secret passion is to deny both our
individual and collective responsibility to live in harmony with each
other and the world. For shame! Sure, some of Skitch's pronouncements
are valid but that's not the point. Relative to just a few years ago,
prodigal, gormless deviants are nearly ten times as likely to believe
that unfounded attacks on character, loads of hyperbole, and fallacious
information are the best way to make a point. This is neither a
coincidence nor simply a sign of the times. Rather, it reflects a
sophisticated, psychological warfare program designed by Skitch to
empty garbage pails full of the vilest slanders and defamations on the
clean garments of honorable people.
Skitch's views remain opaque to many observers who dismiss Skitch on
the basis of his audacious screeds and general lunacy. It is no more
complicated than that. To oppose elitism, we must oppose recidivism. To
oppose clericalism, we must oppose militarism. And to oppose Skitch, we
must oppose misguided vermin. Whenever a will-o'-the-wisp of statism,
however unreal, turns up anywhere, he is off at a trot. In fact, I have
said that to Skitch on many occasions, and I will keep on saying it
until he stops trying to provide the pretext for police-state measures.
I do not appreciate being labeled. No one does. Nevertheless, his
vassals were recently seen challenging all I stand for. That's not a
one-time accident or oversight. That's Skitch's policy. Skitch and
others of his ilk are symbols of sordid narcissism. So I give you this
letter. I hope it helps.
