    While my better instincts counsel me to follow a policy of laissez-faire, there are a couple of Blue Gartr's statements I feel I cannot let pass. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that the concepts underlying Blue Gartr's self-deceiving ideas are like the Ptolemaic astronomy, which could not have been saved by positing more epicycles or eliminating some of the more glaring discrepancies. The fundamental idea -- that the heavens revolve around the Earth -- was wrong, just as Blue Gartr's idea that "the norm" shouldn't have to worry about how the exceptions feel is wrong. It's easy for us to shake our heads at Blue Gartr's foolishness and cowardice. It's easy for us to exclaim that we should counteract the subtle, but pervasive, social message that says that things have never been better. It's easy for us to say, "A recent fact-finder's report revealed that creating needed understanding is best achieved in a calm, rational environment." The point is that it's easy for us to say these things because Blue Gartr recently claimed that we can all live together happily without laws, like the members of some 1960s-style dope-smoking commune. I would have found this comment shocking had I not heard similar garbage from it a hundred times before. More prosaically, if you look back over some of my older letters, you'll see that I predicted that Blue Gartr would inure us to shallow, catty stoicism. 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 Blue Gartr could have made the same prediction.

    In a broad-brush sense, this makes me fearful that I might someday find myself in the crosshairs of Blue Gartr's feckless treatises. (To be honest, though, it wouldn't be the first time.) If you were to try to tell Blue Gartr's functionaries that it has begun -- without so much as a by-your-leave -- an effort to revive the ruinous excess of a bygone era to bounce and blow amidst the ruinous excess of the present era, 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 you may have noticed that we now know for certain that Blue Gartr's myrmidons intend to spoil the whole Zen Buddhist New Age mystical rock-worshipping aura of our body chakras. But you don't know the half of it. For starters, if Blue Gartr wanted to, it could fan the flames of Comstockism into a planet-spanning inferno. It could dispense outright misinformation and flashlight-under-the-chin ghost stories. And it could reopen wounds that seem scarcely healed. We must unequivocally not allow Blue Gartr to do any of these.

    If Blue Gartr's spokesmen had even an ounce of integrity, they would tell Blue Gartr where it can stick it. Scornful and unsophisticated, Blue Gartr's mottos resemble a dilapidated shed. Kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse, proving my claim that I have one itsy-bitsy problem with Blue Gartr's sentiments. Videlicet, they destroy our youths' ability to relax, reflect, study, and meditate. And that's saying nothing about how far too many people tolerate its pronouncements as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that if the only way to change the world for the better is for me to turn pale and run for cover, then so be it. It would sincerely be worth it because I can't possibly believe its claim that violence and prejudice are funny. If someone can convince me otherwise, I'll eat my hat. Heck, I'll eat a whole closetful of hats. That's a pretty safe bet because Blue Gartr's "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude is twisted, because it leaves no room for compromise. This point is so important that it deserves a separate discussion, which I'll provide in a moment. But first, let me just say that conventional wisdom states that if Blue Gartr's associates get their way, society as we know it will cease to exist. But let's not lose sight of the larger, more important issue here: Blue Gartr's illogical musings. Blue Gartr's remonstrations are not just retroactively ineffective but proactively inert. Let's remember that.

    More fundamentally, it would be charitable of me not to mention that Blue Gartr's pranks are uniformly riddled by an unbelievable degree of ignorance. Fortunately, I am not beset by a spirit of false charity, so I will instead maintain that if you'll allow me a minor dysphemism, we must get beyond name-calling. Or, to phrase that a little more politely, if I hear Blue Gartr's spin doctors say, "Every word that leaves Blue Gartr's mouth is teeming with useful information" one more time, I'm indisputably going to throw up. Blue Gartr says that it is omnipotent. You know, it can lie as much as it wants but it can't change the facts. If it could, it'd clearly prevent anyone from hearing that it is too dastardly to read the writing on the wall. This writing warns that it keeps trying to deceive us into thinking that it is entitled to generate alienation and withdrawal. The purpose of this deception may be to hand over the country to materialistic, parasitic criticasters. Or maybe the purpose is to make a mockery of the term "anthropogeographical". Oh what a tangled web Blue Gartr weaves when first it practices to deceive.

    Before Blue Gartr spews any more psychoanalytical drivel, let me assure it that its forces have learned their scripts well and the rhetoric comes gushing forth with little provocation. I want to live my life as I see fit. I can't do that while Blue Gartr still has the ability to create division in the name of diversity. In closing this letter, let me point out that I would be remiss if I didn't remind you that Blue Gartr's agents provocateurs, who are legion, are suckers for rallying chants, regurgitated, standardized slogans, and other behavioral reinforcements.

    While you're probably sick of hearing about Blue Gartyr, it is crucial that you read this letter. Although not without overlap and simplification, I plan to identify three primary positions on Blue Gartyr's harangues. I acknowledge that I have not accounted for all possible viewpoints within the parameters of these three positions. Nevertheless, if we don't shape a world of dignity and harmony, a world of justice, solidarity, liberty, and prosperity, our children will curse us in our graves. Speaking of our children, we need to teach them diligently that you don't need to be a rocket scientist to detect the subtext of this letter. But just in case it's too subliminal for some, let me thrust it into your face right here: Blue Gartyr likes to imply that obscurantism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. This is what his causeries amount to, although, of course, they're daubed over with the viscid slobber of vindictive drivel devised by his satraps and mindlessly multiplied by the most wicked radicals you'll ever see. In a previous letter, I announced my intention to put an end to mischievous post-structuralism. Naturally, this announcement caused Blue Gartyr to mutter abuses befitting his education. Incidents like that truly demonstrate how I call upon him to stop his oppression, lies, immorality, and debauchery. I call upon him to be a man of manners, principles, honour, and purity. And finally, I call upon him to forgo his desire to endorse a complete system of leadership by mobocracy.

    But it gets worse than that. If Blue Gartyr can give us all a succinct and infallible argument proving that we can stop antiheroism merely by permitting government officials entrée into private homes to search for mumpish grizzlers, I will personally deliver his Nobel Prize for Stolid Rhetoric. In the meantime, if there's an untold story here, it's that even if one is opposed to subhuman corporatism (and I am), then surely, Blue Gartyr's newsgroup postings 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 can't follow Blue Gartyr's pretzel logic. I do, however, know that he has a knack for convincing dour nudniks that he never engages in unenlightened, foul-mouthed, or squalid politics. That's called marketing. The underlying trick is to use sesquipedalian terms like "anticonstitutionally" and "syncategorematically" to keep his sales pitch from sounding muddleheaded. That's why you really have to look hard to see that if the human race is to survive on this planet, we will have to provide information and inspiration to as many people as possible. Blue Gartyr's buddies believe that "the moon is made of green cheese." First off, that's a lousy sentence. If they had written that Blue Gartyr's quips are based on some deep-rooted personality disorder, then that quote would have had more validity. As it stands, Blue Gartyr hates you -- yes, you, because you, like me, want to make Blue Gartyr pay for his crimes against humanity.

    Blue Gartyr's approach is generally to seize upon an anecdote or a narrow and limited manifestation and/or purpose, and then totally blow it out of proportion to justify his discourteous musings, yes. But Blue Gartyr's victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of Blue Gartyr's collaborators, who loudly proclaim that I'm too power-hungry to point out the glaring contradiction between Blue Gartyr's idealized view of Comstockism and reality. Regardless of those quixotic proclamations, the truth is that if the people generally are relying on false information sown by misinformed, vandalism-oriented mendicants, then correcting that situation becomes a priority for the defense of our nation. The baneful nature of Blue Gartyr's objectives is not just a rumor. It is a fact to which I can testify. Blue Gartyr doesn't want equal time. Blue Gartyr doesn't want pluralism. Blue Gartyr just wants to nail people to trees.

    Blue Gartyr's out-of-touch epigrams convince me of only one thing: that this is a problem long overdue for debate. That fact may not be pleasant, but it is a fact regardless of our wishes on the matter. Blue Gartyr can't fool me. I've met raving pikers before, so I know that I strive to be consistent in my arguments. I can't say that I'm 100% true to this but Blue Gartyr's frequent vacillating leads me to believe that if you look back over some of my older letters, you'll see that I predicted that he would cast ordinary consumption and investment decisions in the light of high religious purpose. And, as I predicted, he did. But you know, that was not a difficult prediction to make. Anyone who has bothered to learn even a little about Blue Gartyr could have made the same prediction. I believe I have found my calling. My calling is to ensure that the values for which we have labored and for which many of us have fought and sacrificed will continue in ascendancy. And just let him try and stop me.

    Even Blue Gartyr's adulators are afraid that Blue Gartyr will render unspeakable and unthinkable whole categories of beliefs about power as soon as our backs are turned. I have seen their fear manifested over and over again, and it is further evidence that by writing this letter, I am definitely sticking my head far above the parapet. The big danger is that Blue Gartyr will retaliate against me. He'll most likely try to force me to become increasingly frustrated, humiliated and angry, although another possibility is that his ideological colors may have changed over the years. Nevertheless, Blue Gartyr's core principle has remained the same: to exhibit cruelty to animals. If you don't believe me, then note that Blue Gartyr uses the very intellectual tools he criticizes, namely consequentialist arguments rather than arguments about truth or falsity. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we lived in a world without the most crude troglodytes I've ever seen? If natural selection indeed works by removing the weakest and most genetically unfit members of a species, then Blue Gartyr is clearly going to be the first to go. The facts are in: I sometimes have to bite my tongue pretty hard to avoid saying what I really feel about Blue Gartyr.

    Thats what I think about you BG bastards.

    An essay on Blue Gartr

    The subject of Blue Gartr is a controversial issue. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of Blue Gartr. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, Blue Gartr is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. It is estimated that that Blue Gartr is thought about eight times every day by global commercial enterprises, many of whom fail to comprehend the full scope of Blue Gartr. Complex though it is I shall now attempt to provide an exaustive report on Blue Gartr and its numerous 'industries'.

    Social Factors

    Society is a human product. When J H Darcy said 'fevour will spread' [1] she was clearly refering to the impact of Blue Gartr on today's society. While deviating from the norm will always cause unrest amongst ones peers, Blue Gartr raises the question 'why?'

    Did I mention how lovely Blue Gartr is? Society says that every man must find their own truth. While one sees Blue Gartr, another may see monkeys playing tennis.

    Economic Factors

    We no longer live in a world which barters 'I'll give you three cows for that hat, it�s lovely.' Our existance is a generation which cries 'Hat - $20.' We will primarily be focusing on the Watkis-Teeth-Pulling model using the median instead of the mean, where possible.

    The results displayed in the graph are too clear to be ignored. Well interest plays in increasingly important role in the market economy. Strong fluctuations in investor confidence have been seen over the past two financial years.

    Political Factors

    Machiavellian politics is rife. Are our leaders justified in pursuing and maintaining political power? Politicians find it difficult to choose between what has become known in politics as - 'The two ways' - Blue Gartrism and post-Blue Gartrism.

    Consider this, spoken at the tender age of 14 by nobel prize winner Demetrius Shandy 'A man must have his cake and eat it in order to justify his actions.' [2] He was first introduced to Blue Gartr by his mother. I feel strongly that if politicians spent less time thinking about Blue Gartr and put more effort into their family life, that we would have a very different country.
    The question which we must each ask ourselves is, will we allow Blue Gartr to win our vote?

    Conclusion

    To reiterate, Blue Gartr plays a large part in the lives of all. It enlightens our daily lives, influences the influencers, and always chips in.

    I will leave you with the words of Hollywood's Shania J. Fox: 'It's been nice educating you.' [3]

    Im having too much fun with this

    I have been meaning to write this letter for some time now and, in light of recent developments, I believe it is appropriate. Before I get moving here, let me point out that if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. At first, Blue Gartr just wanted to prepare the ground for an ever-more vicious and brutal campaign of terror. Then, it tried to embark on wholesale torture and slaughter of innocent civilians. Who knows what it'll do next? There aren't enough hours in the day to fully answer that question, but consider this: Blue Gartr's sycophants assert that "Blue Gartr has answers to everything." First off, that's a lousy sentence. If they had written that I speak from experience, then that quote would have had more validity. As it stands, Blue Gartr 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 Blue Gartr is an opportunist. That is, it is an ideological chameleon, without any real morality, without a soul.

    If it is not yet clear that Blue Gartr possesses an extraordinary ability to make incompetence seem philosophical and stupidity seem profound, then consider that if you were to tell it that I am ashamed to admit that I live on the same planet as it, it'd just pull its security blanket a little tighter around itself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. If we're to effectively carry out our responsibilities and make a future for ourselves, we will first have to evaluate the tactics Blue Gartr has used against me.

    There is a proper place in life for hatred. Hatred of that which is wrong is a powerful and valuable tool. But when Blue Gartr perverts hatred in order to publish blatantly unbridled rhetoric as "education" for children to learn in school, it becomes clear that it is reluctant to resolve problems. It always just looks the other way and hopes no one will notice that there is something grievously wrong with those treasonous, power-hungry used-car salesmen who leave behind a legacy of perpetual indebtedness in developing countries. Shame on the lot of them! We can't let Blue Gartr enrich itself at taxpayer expense. I'm not going to say why; we all know the reason. Blue Gartr hopes to finance a propaganda of intensive deception that induces sane and sober people to desecrate religious objects. So I give you this letter. I hope it helps.

    I need to tell you a little about how obscurantism is the last refuge of the antihumanist. And so I shall. One of my objectives is to step back and consider the problem of Nirokun's self-fulfilling prophecies in the larger picture of popular culture imagery. Nirokun sees insurrectionism as his benevolent guardian angel. Regular readers of my letters probably take that for granted, but if I am to fight tooth and nail against Nirokun, I must explain to the population at large that the tone of Nirokun's opuscula is eerily reminiscent of that of morally crippled maggots of the late 1940s, in the sense that Nirokun's reinterpretations of historic events 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! Nirokun has compiled an impressive list of grievances against me. Not only are all of these grievances completely fictitious, but Nirokun's philippics are an icon for the deterioration of the city, for its slow slide into crime, malaise, and filth. It is more than a purely historical question to ask, "How did his reign of terror start?" or even the more urgent question, "How might it end?". No, we must ask, "Does he contend that he has his moral compass in tact because it fits his political agenda or because he's too ignorant of the facts to know that he is apt to respond to this letter in the same emotional way that a devout Christian in the 15th century might have responded to someone who announced publicly that he didn't believe in the virgin birth?" The answer should be self-evident, so let me just point out that Nirokun's pushy attempt to construct a creative response to my previous letter was absolutely pitiful. Really, Nirokun, stringing together a bunch of solecistic insults and seemingly random babble is hardly effective. It simply proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that his argument that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day is hopelessly flawed and thoroughly circuitous.

    You what the best thing about this forum is? The fact that whenever someone makes a posts either a) some dumbass has to post something completely retarded or b) attack someones credibility by their lack of proper grammar. The language is rather sub-par but still understandable and everyone gets the jist of the post. This person was just trying to slander BG (yes i know the post has no merit since all is fair in love, war and NMs) and state what "assholes" they are but their are NO rules when camping NMs. So, stop making yourselves look like dickheads by proving your superiority about the stuff you learned in 10th grade english and discuss the situation at hand.
