<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mattsteg @ Feb 27 2009, 02:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>If I were to summarize traction control's selfish, pernicious histrionics I'd need only one word: perverted. Before I get moving here, let me point out that traction control's ....-and-bull stories run on pure irony. It follows from this that society must soon decide either to plant markers that define the limits of what is effrontive and what is not or else to let traction control mute the voice of anyone who dares to speak out against it. The decision is one of life or death, peaceful existence or perpetual social fever. I can hope only that those in charge realize that traction control's perorations are a mere cavil, a mere scarecrow, one of the last shifts of a desperate and dying cause. Although the destructiveness of traction control's expostulations has been chronicled elsewhere in great and tedious detail it fits too neatly into my thesis to overlook. Hence, I shall chronicle it here as well but only as a quick comment that traction control's subalterns have been staggering around like punch-drunk fighters hit too many times—stunned, confused, betrayed, and trying desperately to rationalize traction control's gutless ipse dixits. It is indubitably not a pretty sight.
The most troubling aspect of traction control's behavior is its intolerance of dissent. Think I'm exaggerating? Just ask any of the most valuable members of our community and they'll all tell you how I hate it when people get their facts thoroughly wrong. For instance, whenever I hear some corporate fat cat make noises about how traction control's vices are the only true virtues, I can't help but think that traction control will do everything in its power to scrap the notion of national sovereignty. No wonder corruption is endemic to our society; one of traction control's dupes once said, "The moon is made of green cheese." Now that's pretty funny, of course, but I didn't include that quote just to make you laugh. I included it to convince you that traction control's politics are evil. They're evil because they cause global warming; they make your teeth fall out; they give you spots; they incite nuclear war. And, as if that weren't enough, traction control's coadjutors say, "75 million years ago, a galactic tyrant named Xenu solved the overpopulation problem of his 76-planet federation by transporting the excess people to Earth, chaining them to volcanoes, and dropping H-bombs on them." Yes, I'm afraid they really do talk like that. It's the only way for them to conceal that I welcome traction control's comments. However, traction control needs to realize that the only effective and responsible course of action is to present a noble vision of who we were, who we are, and who we can potentially be—an often frustrating prescription, to be sure. That's pretty transparent. What's not so transparent is the answer to the following question: Is it so squalid as to think that this can go on forever? A clue might be that I strive to be consistent in my arguments. I can't say that I'm 100% true to this, but traction control's frequent vacillating leads me to believe that it insists that truth is merely a social construct. In the long run, however, it's only fooling itself. Traction control would be better off if it just admitted to itself that its most progressive idea is to overthrow democratic political systems. If that sounds progressive to you, you must be facing the wrong way.
It's precisely because traction control's shell games are a perfect example of overgeneralization and blatant neocolonialism that everybody is probably familiar with the cliche that traction control's undertakings are sheer idiocy. Well, there's a lot of truth in that cliche. Actually, traction control really struck a nerve with me when it said that oligophrenic gasbags are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. That lie is a painful reminder that there is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some "ideology" such as plagiarism or imperialism. Specifically, if you look back over some of my older letters, you'll see that I predicted that traction control would renege on an incredibly large number of promises. And, as I predicted, it did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about traction control could have made the same prediction. Let us now get traction control off our backs because in that is our only hope for the future.
Utterly fantastic. You must be irish american.
