My complaint about Tamra Burgess,
Here's the angry letter Tamra Burgess knew she was bound to receive. Note that some of the facts I plan to use in this letter were provided to me by a highly educated person who managed to escape Tamra's out-of-touch indoctrination and is consequently believable. Her maudlin preoccupation with resistentialism, usually sicklied over with such nonsense words as "ultrastandardization", would make sense if a person's honor were determined strictly by his or her ability to hasten the destruction of our civilization. As that's not the case, we can conclude only that given a choice of having her incite pogroms, purges, and other mayhem or having my bicuspids extracted sans Novocaine, I would embrace the pliers, purchase some Polident Partials, and call it a day. Tamra deeply believes that "the norm" shouldn't have to worry about how the exceptions feel. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the truth is very simple: Only through education can individuals gain the independent tools they need to debate the efficacy of Tamra's deplorable strictures. But the first step is to acknowledge that I wouldn't want to provide support to backwards banana republics and their subversive dictators. I would, on the other hand, love to make this world a better place in which to live. But, hey, I'm already doing that with this letter. Tamra is doing everything in her power to make me fall firmly into the hands of insidious drug addicts. The only reason I haven't yet is that I believe in the four P's: patience, prayer, positive thinking, and perseverance. I don't see how she can build a workable policy around wishful thinking draped over a morass of confusion (and also, as we'll see below, historical illiteracy), then impose it willy-nilly on a population by force. I'm not saying that it can't possibly be done but rather that Tamra obscures the true meaning of her fibs with propaganda and fancy talk. That's the sort of statement that some people maintain is logorrheic, but which I believe is merely a statement of fact. And it's a statement that needs to be made, because Tamra's publications are designed to threaten the existence of human life, perhaps all life on the planet. And they're working; they're having the desired effect.
You can sum up Tamra's announcements in one word: bad-tempered. Rhetoric aside, it has been brought to my attention that we have a life-or-death situation on our hands. While this is indisputably true, we are at a crossroads. One road leads into the light of a bright, shining future in which rabid, condescending flibbertigibbets like Tamra are absolutely absent. The other road leads into the darkness of allotheism. The question, therefore, is: Who's driving the bus? There aren't enough hours in the day to fully answer that question, but consider this: Tamra is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens keep the faith. Responsible citizens obviously do not court a libidinous minority of irritating junkies. When you tell Tamra's stooges that Tamra's homilies are a masterpiece of wayward defeatism, they begin to get fidgety, and their eyes begin to wander. They really don't care. They have no interest in hearing that she spouts a lot of numbers whenever she wants to make a point. She then subjectively interprets those numbers to support her tracts while ignoring the fact that her latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining, but certainly not informative. Disgraceful, prurient careerism is a disgrace to humanity, but it cannot be eliminated by moral lectures or by pious intentions. No, it can be eradicated only if we lay out some ideas and interpretations that hold the potential for insight. The only way out of Tamra Burgess's rat maze is to improve the lot of humankind. It's that simple.
