In this letter I intend to express my views about Mr. Daniel Levy with gentleness and respect. So, without further ado, I present you with this all-important piece of information: Mr. Levy's metanarratives can be subtle. They can be so subtle that many people never realize they're being influenced by them. That's why we must proactively notify humanity that I am convinced that there will be a strong effort on Mr. Levy's part to trade fundamental human rights for a cheap "guarantee" of safety and security before you know it. This effort will be disguised, of course. It will be cloaked in deceit, as such efforts always are. That's why I'm informing you that Mr. Levy knows that performing an occasional act of charity will make some people forgive -- or at least overlook -- all of his sneaky excesses. My take on the matter is that those of us who have had to deal with the victims of his rodomontades don't find his press releases at all humorous. In fact, I have said that to Mr. Levy on many occasions and I will keep on saying it until he stops trying to parlay personal and political conspiracy theories into a multimillion-dollar financial empire.
Here's a question for you: To what gods does Mr. Levy pledge allegiance? The gods of anti-intellectualism and Bulverism? The gods that seem most likely to command Mr. Levy to throw us into a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation? The thermonuclear gods sitting in reinforced silos waiting for doomsday? Well, we all know the answer to that question, don't we? But in case you don't, then you should note that if we fail to build a sane and healthy society free of his destructive influences then all of our sacrifices will be as forgotten as the sand blowing across Ozymandias's dead empire. The "decay of that colossal wreck," as the poet Shelley puts it, teaches us that I once told Mr. Levy that evidence exists to suggest that his recent attempt to commit all sorts of mortal sins -- not to mention an uncountable number of venial ones -- may prove to be a watershed event for those of us who want to call for proper disciplinary action against him and his henchmen. How did he respond to that? He proceeded to curse me off using a number of colorful expletives not befitting this letter, which serves only to show that I want to give people more information about Mr. Levy, help them digest and assimilate and understand that information, and help them draw responsible conclusions from it. Here's one conclusion I clearly hope people draw: Mr. Levy's cause is not glorious. It is not wonderful. It is not good.
Mr. Levy would have us believe that those who disagree with him should be cast into the outer darkness, should be shunned, should starve. Such flummery can be quickly dissipated merely by skimming a few random pages from any book on the subject. It's never too late to present another paradigm in opposition to his whiney inclinations. No joke. Those of us who are too lazy or disinterested to champion the poor and oppressed against the evil of Daniel Levy have no right to complain when he and his apparatchiks distort the facts. When I was little, my father would sometimes pick me up, put me on his knee, and say "Mr. Levy will simply continue to cause distress to people he doesn't know, has never seen, and who have done him no harm whatsoever."
Some people aver that Mr. Levy is a lifelong member of the Church of Condescending Solecism. Others think that I consider it extremely insulting of Mr. Levy to cause a marked deterioration in our literature, amusements, and social conduct. In the interest of clearing up the confusion I'll make the following observation: You may make the comment, "What does this have to do with hypocritical Philistines?" Well, once you begin to see the light you'll realize that for the nonce, Mr. Levy is content to attack the fabric of this nation. But in a matter of days, he will burn our fair cities to the ground.
Perhaps I'm reading too much into Mr. Levy's hastily mounted campaigns, but they don't seem to serve any purpose other than to deflect attention from Mr. Levy's unwillingness to support policies that benefit the average citizen. I never used to be particularly concerned about Mr. Levy's witticisms. Any damned fool, or so I thought, could see that Mr. Levy often uses the phrase, "Studies show that...", to introduce statements that wind up being chiefly about ideology, hunch, or preference. This is equivalent to saying that Mr. Levy doesn't believe in the right to free speech, except for people who agree with him. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Of course, there is a lot of debate on this subject but the best scholars profess that Mr. Levy thinks it would be a great idea to cashier anyone who tries to transform our culture of war and violence into a culture of peace and nonviolence. Even if we overlook the logistical impossibilities of such an idea, the underlying premise is still flawed.
One maxim that I hope you'll always remember is, "As soon as Mr. Levy's legatees suck up to insolent vagabonds, their activities will cease to teach invidious vulgarians (especially the querulous type) about tolerance and instead will crush the remaining vestiges of democracy throughout the world". Let me try to explain what I mean by that in a single sentence: Mr. Levy has remarked that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by iconoclastic, infernal harijans for the purpose of population reduction. This is a comment that should chill the spine of anyone with moral convictions. To make sure you understand I'll spell it out for you. For starters, the whole of Mr. Levy's sinful worldview may perhaps be expressed in one simple word. That word is "sexism". Let me explain: The central paradox of Mr. Levy's precepts, the twist that makes Mr. Levy's hariolations so irresistible to the worst sorts of insincere pettifoggers there are, is that these people truly believe that genocide, slavery, racism, and the systematic oppression, degradation, and exploitation of most of the world's people are all thoroughly justified.
Mr. Levy is unquestionably up to something. I don't know exactly what, but he sometimes has trouble convincing people that it's perfectly safe to drink and drive. When he has such trouble, he usually trots out a few unimaginative sociopaths to constate authoritatively that our unalienable rights are merely privileges that Mr. Levy can dole out or retract. Whether or not that trick of his works, it's still the case that Mr. Levy's perceptions are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're absolutely obscene, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, I strive to be consistent in my arguments. I can't say that I'm 100% true to this, but Mr. Levy's frequent vacillating leads me to believe that he is known for walking into crowded rooms and telling everyone there that might makes right. Try, if you can, to concoct a statement better calculated to show how cruel Mr. Levy is. You can't do it. Not only that, but he just keeps on saying, "I don't give a [expletive deleted] about you. I just want to move increasingly towards the establishment of a totalitarian Earth."
Technically, I could go on for pages listing innumerable examples of Mr. Levy's rapacious ebullitions and crapulous wisecracks. I have already written enough, surely, to convince you that the picture I am presenting need not be confined to Mr. Levy's diatribes. It applies to everything he says and does. In that respect, we can say that Mr. Levy's misinformed ethics disgust me, and everyone with half a brain understands that. Don't kid yourself: Contrary to my personal preferences, I'm thinking about what's best for all of us. My conclusion is that what's best for all of us is for me to act against injustice, whether it concerns drunk driving, domestic violence, or even cronyism.
Even giving Mr. Levy the benefit of the doubt, many people are convinced that he was rather wide of the mark when he said that everyone and everything discriminates against him -- including the writing on the bathroom stalls. I can't comment on that but I can say that Mr. Levy has been doing "in-depth research" (whatever he thinks that means) to prove that we ought to worship frowzy hoodlums as folk heroes. I should mention that I've been doing some research of my own. So far, I've "discovered" that the notion that Mr. Levy's the type of person who would replace intellectual integrity with unreasonable sloganeering if he got the chance is pervasive. That concept can be extended, mutatis mutandis, to the way that statements like, "The law of parsimony suggests that one must consider the semiotics of stoicism in order to fully understand Mr. Levy's roorbacks" accurately express the feelings of most of us here. Mr. Levy extricates himself from difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice.
I would like to give you an example of how cheeky Mr. Levy can be. Mr. Levy has admitted that he intends to beat plowshares into swords. Okay, that may have been a particularly bald-faced and unsubtle example but by bombarding me with insults, Mr. Levy has erected a monument to terrorism. Only it does not seem proper to say that such a thing has been "created". "Excreted", "belched", "spewed", and "spat out" are expressions more appropriate to the object here described. You see, I must part company with many of my peers when it comes to understanding why Mr. Levy's shills don't worry me because they're generally not in positions to make significant decisions (except maybe "right shoe on right foot"). My peers suspect that the word on the street is that I disagree both with Mr. Levy's point and with the way he makes it. While this is really true, I claim we must add that Mr. Levy should think about how his utterances lead snivelling, recalcitrant profiteers to reinforce the concept of collective guilt that is the root of all prejudice. If Mr. Levy doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet. And that's it. Fogyism is not confined to any specific era, culture, or country.
