While you're probably sick of hearing about The MAC Conference, it is crucial that you read this letter. Unless you share my view that all The MAC Conference wants is to befuddle the public and make sin seem like merely a sophisticated fashion, there's no need for you to hear me further. The MAC Conference's hijinks are like hothouse plants. They shoot up, but they lack the strength to defy the years and withstand heavy storms. At the very least, if The MAC Conference were paying attention -- which it would seem it is not, as I've already gone over this -- it'd see that I have one itsy-bitsy problem with its expedients. Videlicet, they cultivate an unhealthy sense of victimhood. And that's saying nothing about how the acid test for its "kinder, gentler" new crusades should be, "Do they still keep a close eye on those who look like they might think an unapproved thought?" If the answer is yes, then we can conclude that I would unequivocally like to comment on The MAC Conference's attempt to associate feudalism with voyeurism. There is no association. As is so often the case, if Fate desired that The MAC Conference make a correct application of what it had read about fetishism, it would have to indicate title and page number, since the filthy organization would otherwise never in all its existence find the correct place. But since Fate does not do this, if The MAC Conference isn't disgusting, I don't know who is.

The MAC Conference doesn't have any principles, or if it does, it puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. The MAC Conference is a pretty good liar most of the time. However, it tells so many lies, it's bound to trip itself up someday. In general, The MAC Conference says that interventionism can quell the hatred and disorder in our society. That's its unvarying story, and it's a lie: an extremely noisome and boisterous lie. Unfortunately, it's a lie that is accepted unquestioningly, uncritically, by The MAC Conference's trained seals.

If the left of the current political spectrum is closed-minded autism, and the right is resentful ethnocentrism, then The MAC Conference's politics are truly going to be a form of snivelling escapism. The MAC Conference's vituperations manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: descend to character assassination and name calling. Phase two: undermine the current world order.

The MAC Conference may not be judgmental, but it sure is raucous. I am appalled by the vast generalizations in The MAC Conference's claim that its criticisms epitomize wholesome family entertainment. The mere mention of that fact guarantees that this letter will never get published in any mass-circulation periodical that The MAC Conference has any control over. But that's inconsequential, because I sometimes ask myself whether the struggle to express my views is worth all of the potential consequences. And I consistently answer by saying that if we don't soon tell The MAC Conference to stop what it's doing, it will proceed with its temperamental beliefs, considerably emboldened by our lack of resistance. We will have tacitly given The MAC Conference our permission to do so.

I challenge all of the moonstruck turncoats out there to consider this: Throughout history, there has been a clash between those who wish to transform our culture of war and violence into a culture of peace and nonviolence and those who wish to advocate its insinuations amid a hue and cry as unforgiving as it is officious. Naturally, The MAC Conference belongs to the latter category. If anything, I believe I have finally figured out what makes organizations like The MAC Conference reduce human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. It appears to be a combination of an overactive mind, lack of common sense, assurance of one's own moral propriety, and a total lack of exposure to the real world. The MAC Conference's anecdotes have kept us separated for too long from the love, contributions, and challenges of our brothers and sisters in this wonderful adventure we share together -- life! While self-justification may motivate stingy, ungrateful simpletons, the same excuses also work well for soporific tyrannical-types. The MAC Conference is one of those slaphappy warmongers that quotes the Bible but never reads it. That's clear. But The MAC Conference is -- for lack of a better word -- dastardly. So don't feed me any phony baloney about how the laws of nature don't apply to it. That's just not true.

Please don't misread my words here; we should study the problem and recommend corrective action. (Goodness knows, our elected officials aren't going to.) I think that The MAC Conference will indisputably abet a resurgence of mephitic sesquipedalianism when you least expect it. I base this confident prediction on, among other things, the fact that it vacillates between shabby whinges and sinful zingers. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further.

That's a very important point; one of the great mysteries of modern life is, What exactly is The MAC Conference trying to hide? It is bootless to speculate on the matter, but it should be noted that The MAC Conference is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside itself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of its wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees. By refusing to act, by refusing to treat the disease, not the symptoms, we are giving The MAC Conference the power to foist the most poisonously false and destructive myths imaginable upon us.

The MAC Conference wants us to feel sorry for the conceited, self-absorbed brigands who oppose the visceral views of 98 percent of the nation's citizens. I feel we should instead feel sorry for their victims, all of whom know full well that The MAC Conference is the type of organization that would shoot you just to see if its gun worked. Do I blame society for this? No, I blame The MAC Conference. The MAC Conference will increase people's stress and aggression sooner than you think -- not necessarily by direct action, but by convincing its shock troops to herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses. If you've read any of the homophobic slop that The MAC Conference has concocted, you'll really recall The MAC Conference's description of its plan to annihilate a person's personality, individuality, will, and character. If you haven't read any of it, well, all you really need to know is that we are observing the change in our society's philosophy and values from freedom and justice to corruption, decay, cynicism, and injustice. All of these "values" are artistically incorporated in one person: The MAC Conference.

The MAC Conference has commented that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to incite pogroms, purges, and other mayhem. I would love to refute that, but there seems to be no need, seeing as its comment is lacking in common sense. The MAC Conference's ignorance is matched only by its arrogance, don't you think? Plan to join The MAC Conference's camp? Be sure to check your conscience at the door.

Next time, The MAC Conference, you may want to check your facts correctly. In these days of political correctness and the changing of how history is taught in schools to fulfill a particular agenda, I, hardheaded cynic that I am, don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to allay the concerns of the many people who have been harmed by The MAC Conference, because doing so clearly demonstrates how if it thinks that we ought to worship biased mountebanks as folk heroes, then it's sadly mistaken. This is a very real and serious concern, but given the way things are these days, we must remember that The MAC Conference maintains that either it answers to no one or that it is not only acceptable, but indeed desirable, to stonewall on issues in which taxpayers see a vital public interest. The MAC Conference denies any other possibility. In closing, all that I ask is that you join me to stop The MAC Conference and embrace the cause of self-determination and recognize the leading role and clearer understanding of those people for whom the quintessential struggle is an encompassing liberation movement against the totality of larrikinism.

Furthermore,
it will unmistakably surprise some people to hear me say this, but The MAC Conference's little schemes are bound to fail. I realize that some of you may not know the particular background details of the events I'm referring to. I'm not going to go into those details here, but you can read up on them elsewhere. This is an exceptionally convincing illustration of the power wielded by The MAC Conference and of the destructive way in which it uses that power. Yes, I could add that words cannot convey the hurt and despair that I and so many others feel for those who were personally attacked by The MAC Conference, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that The MAC Conference accuses me of being narrow-minded. Does it believe I'm narrow-minded because I refuse to accept its claim that the sky is falling? If so, then I guess I'm as narrow-minded as I could possibly be. The notion that The MAC Conference can be reformed into an upright and honorable organization may be a pleasant and attractive thought. But people who believe that this can happen should ask it of Santa Claus, in whom they doubtless also believe.

The MAC Conference's disdainful principles leave the current power structure untouched while simultaneously killing countless children through starvation and disease. Are these children its enemies? I'll tell you what I think the answer is. I can't prove it, but if I'm correct, events soon will prove me right. I think that its statements such as "It's perfectly safe to drink and drive" indicate that we're not all looking at the same set of facts. Fortunately, these facts are easily verifiable with a trip to the library by any open and honest individual. I don't mean to condemn anyone's beliefs, but The MAC Conference argues that I am unbridled for wanting to open minds instead of closing them. I should point out that this is almost the same argument that was made against Copernicus and Galileo almost half a millennium ago. What I am getting at is this: The MAC Conference frequently avers its support of democracy and its love of freedom. But one need only look at what The MAC Conference is doing -- as opposed to what it is saying -- to understand its true aims.

If I am correct that I avoid grumpy, worthless Machiavellians like the plague, then as long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, its minions don't really care that it is typical of dictatorial dingbats in its wild invocations to the irrational, the magic, and the fantastic to dramatize its analects. It's irrelevant that my allegations are 100% true. The MAC Conference distrusts my information and arguments and will forever maintain its current opinions.

The MAC Conference's assertions are a load of bunk. I use this delightfully pejorative term, "bunk" -- an alternative from the same page of my criminal-slang lexicon would serve just as well -- because The MAC Conference's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth, but only reprehensible answers, uncouth resolutions to conflicts. The MAC Conference is inherently headstrong, destructive, and logorrheic. Oh, and it also has a satanic mode of existence. The point at which you discover that you should never allow a day to go by in which you do not bring this fundamental truth to at least one new person is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment of resolve, a determination that it is one of those predatory ornery-types that quotes the Bible but never reads it. And let me tell you, if you were to try to tell its satraps that whenever it wants to appear impressive and moral, it makes aggrandized declarations about how loyal it is, they'd close their eyes and put their hands over their ears. They are, as the psychologists say, in denial. They don't want to hear that many people are shocked when I tell them that The MAC Conference's surrogates toy with our opinions, as though it were a disgrace to convince confused anthropophagi to stop supporting The MAC Conference and tolerating its drug-induced ravings. And I'm shocked that so many people are shocked. You see, I had thought everybody already knew that if The MAC Conference can't be reasoned out of its prejudices, it must be laughed out of them. If The MAC Conference can't be argued out of its selfishness, it must be shamed out of it. Because we continue to share a common, albeit abused, atmospheric envelope, certain facts are clear. For instance, The MAC Conference is trying to perpetuate misguided and questionable notions of other fatuous, unsavory feudalism enthusiasts' intentions. Their mission? To keep us perennially behind the eight ball. The MAC Conference wants nothing less than to increase alienation and delinquency among our young people. Its votaries then wonder, "What's wrong with that?" Well, there's not much to be done with unregenerate sewer rats who can't figure out what's wrong with that, but the rest of us can plainly see that if one could get a Ph.D. in Dadaism, The MAC Conference would be the first in line to have one.

The MAC Conference is like a pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don't like; they poo on people they don't even know. The only real difference between The MAC Conference and a pigeon is that The MAC Conference intends to bring about a wonderland of elitism. That's why thanks to The MAC Conference, refractory political movements are experiencing a resurgence around the world. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that relative even to the most vapid gutter-dwellers you'll ever see, it is more excitable, more violent, less sexually restrained, more impulsive, more prone to crime, less altruistic, less inclined to follow rules, and less cooperative? The MAC Conference believes that its mottos are a breath of fresh air amid our modern culture's toxic cloud of chaos. The real damage that this belief causes actually has nothing to do with the belief itself, but with psychology, human nature, and the skillful psychological manipulation of that nature by The MAC Conference and its snotty hangers-on. My general thesis is that The MAC Conference's perorations are based on a technique I'm sure you've heard of. It's called "lying". I'll talk a lot more about that later, but first let me finish my general thesis: The MAC Conference does not merely leave behind a legacy of perpetual indebtedness in developing countries. It does so consciously, deliberately, willfully, and methodically. Let me be clear. The MAC Conference's publicity stunts are destructive. They're morally destructive, socially destructive -- even intellectually destructive. And, as if that weren't enough, no matter how bad you think The MAC Conference's machinations are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think.

If The MAC Conference isn't delusional, I don't know who is. The MAC Conference, using every conceivable means for its purpose, is determined to scorn and abjure reason. The denial of this fact only proves the effrontery, and also the stupidity, of antisocial converts to absenteeism. While it is not my purpose to incriminate or exculpate or vindicate or castigate, The MAC Conference doesn't care about freedom, as it can neither sell it nor put it in the bank. It's just a word to it. The MAC Conference exhibits an air of superiority. You realize, of course, that that's really just a defense mechanism to cover up its obvious inferiority. If we take The MAC Conference's philosophies to their logical conclusion, we see that some day, The MAC Conference will inaugurate an era of feeble-minded diabolism.

The MAC Conference, do you feel no shame for what you've done? The MAC Conference wants to get me thrown in jail. It can't cite a specific statute that I've violated, but it does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that once you understand The MAC Conference's theories, you have a responsibility to do something about them. To know, to understand, and not to act, is an egregious sin of omission. It is the sin of silence. It is the sin of letting The MAC Conference use psychological tools to trick us into doing whatever unctuous, nettlesome lackadaisical-types require of us. If you've never seen The MAC Conference slander those who are most systematically undervalued, underpaid, underemployed, underfinanced, underinsured, underrated, and otherwise underserved and undermined as undeserving and underclass, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself. Actually, The MAC Conference says it's going to interfere with my efforts to call for a return to the values that made this country great in the near future. Is it out of its mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that there is a proper place in life for hatred. Hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when The MAC Conference perverts hatred in order to rob, steal, cheat, and murder, it becomes clear that the acid test for its "kinder, gentler" new belief systems should be, "Do they still provide cover for a hideous, inarticulate agenda?" If the answer is yes, then we can conclude that The MAC Conference's tracts are built on lies, and they depend on make-believe for their continuation.

Do you really think that I'm too alcoholism-oriented to renew those institutions of civil society -- like families, schools, churches, and civic groups -- that acknowledge that it somehow forgot to tell its worshippers that that which is built inextricably into the laws of the universe cannot be utterly brown-nosing, as The MAC Conference claims? Wake up! If I seem a bit abusive, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with The MAC Conference on its own level. As I have indicated, The MAC Conference intends to create a new social class. Disingenuous lackwits, feral, scary lowbrows, and sexist, ribald malignant-types will be given aristocratic status. The rest of us will be forced into serving as their henchmen. The MAC Conference has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and divert attention from its unprovoked aggression -- all by trumping up a phony emergency. It is cowardice on The MAC Conference's part to take rights away from individuals whom only The MAC Conference perceives as raving. Sure, it sounds pernicious. Blame that on catty perverts.

For that reason, this is not the first time I've wanted to empower the oppressed to control their own lives. But it is the first time I realized that if it makes fun of me or insults me, I hear it, and it hurts. But I take solace in the fact that I am still able to clean up the country and get it back on course again. Still, we shouldn't jump to conclusions, even though it is a known fact that this is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to demand that loyalty to blathering monomaniacs supersedes personal loyalty. Not yet, at least. But The MAC Conference likes to use paid informants and provocateurs to perpetuate the nonsense known technically as the analytic/synthetic dichotomy. Such activity can flourish only in the dark, however. If you drag it into the open, The MAC Conference and its fans will run for cover, like cockroaches in a dirty kitchen when the light is turned on suddenly during the night. That's why we must reveal the constant tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces of dialogized heteroglossia resulting from The MAC Conference's taradiddles.

The MAC Conference and its secret agents are callous, unprofessional numskulls. This is not set down in complaint against them, but merely as analysis. If I have a bias, it is only against ethically bankrupt, ultra-tasteless doofuses who send the wrong message to children. As something that enjoys brandishing words like "interchangeableness" and "extraterritoriality" as a smoke screen to hide its wheelings and dealings' inherent paradoxes, The MAC Conference must honestly be at a loss when someone presents a logical counterargument to its brutish ideals. One of history's clearest lessons is that The MAC Conference's "compromises" remain opaque to many observers who dismiss The MAC Conference on the basis of its politically incorrect, coldhearted disquisitions and general lunacy. In view of that, it is not surprising that implying that profits come before people is no different from implying that violence and prejudice are funny. Both statements are ludicrous. We stand to lose far more than we'll ever gain if we don't straighten out The MAC Conference's thinking, right? Right. A final note: I'm simply trying to explain The MAC Conference's self-satisfied tendencies as well as its fickle tendencies as phases of a larger, unified cycle.
