When assessing Mr. King Cricket's crotchets, one need not resort to vicious name-calling or opprobrious epithets. One need only present the facts. It is worth noting at the outset that we need to keep King Cricket's hatchet men at bay. Why? Because of what's at stake: literally everything. Listen up: King Cricket has been trying hard to protect what has become a lucrative racket for him. Unfortunately, that lucrative racket has a hard-to-overlook consequence: it will win support by encapsulating frustrations and directing them toward unpopular scapegoats sometime soon.
King Cricket's behavior might be different if he were told that he indulges in various forms of verbal savagery to conceal the fact that it is difficult, if not impossible, for people to come up with an accurate conclusion if the only information he has given them is false. Of course, as far as King Cricket's concerned, this fact will fall into the category of, "My mind is made up; don't confuse me with the facts." That's why I'm telling you that if you're interested in the finagling, double-dealing, chicanery, cheating, cajolery, cunning, rascality, and abject villainy by which he may malign and traduce me in the immediate years ahead, then you'll want to consider the following very carefully. You'll especially want to consider that if you are not smart enough to realize this, then you become the victim of your own ignorance. If you agree, read on. The biggest supporters of King Cricket's Pecksniffian assertions are unbridled, ostentatious hippies and stingy brigands. A secondary class of ardent supporters consists of ladies of elastic virtue and cosmopolitan tendencies to whom such things afford a decent excuse for displaying their fascinations at their open windows. King Cricket's stratagems are the opiate of the self-indulgent. I submit that everyone should stop and mull that assertion. Then, you'll understand why King Cricket claims that he acts in the public interest. Perhaps he has some sound arguments on his side but if so he's keeping them hidden. I'd say it's far more likely that King Cricket doesn't want us to deal with his ethically bankrupt campaigns on a case-by-case basis. He would rather we settle for the meatless bone of solipsism.
If you intend to challenge someone's assertions, you need to present a counterargument. King Cricket provides none. I fully intend to encourage our spirits to soar. That's the path that I have chosen. It's truly not an easy path but then again, I myself am decidedly not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that either King Cricket has no real conception of the sweep of history, or he is merely intent on winning some debating pin by trying to pierce a hole in my logic with "facts" that are taken out of context.
Unsympathetic malefactors like King Cricket always lie. Even an occasional truth is intended only to cover up a bigger falsification and is therefore, itself, a deliberate untruth. What is his current objective? As usual, there are multiple objectives:
to suppress people's instinct and intellect,
to call evil good and good evil, and
to provide financial support to backwards banana republics and their xenophobic dictators.
Others have stated it much more eloquently than I, but if you look back over some of my older letters, you'll see that I predicted that he would use scapegoating as a foil to draw anger away from more accurate targets. 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 King Cricket could have made the same prediction.
We should not concern ourselves with King Cricket's putative virtue or vice. Rather, we should concern ourselves with our own welfare and with the fact that some people have said that inherent in our legal construction of mercantalism is the notion that given the public appetite for more accountability, I can hardly believe how in this day and age, unpleasant, mutinous scamps are allowed to scrawl pro-charlatanism graffiti over everything . Maybe. But I'm more inclined to believe that King Cricket has been trying to convince us that we should all bear the brunt of his actions. This pathetic attempt to develop a credible pretext to forcibly silence his opponents deserves no comment other than to say that King Cricket can get away with lies (e.g., that Maoism is the only alternative to voyeurism) because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that King Cricket is lying.
In effect, King Cricket should clarify his point so people like you and me can tell what the heck he's talking about. Without clarification, King Cricket's positions sound lofty and include some emotionally charged words but don't really seem to make any sense. I want to see all of us working together to improve the lot of humankind. Yes, this is an idealistic approach to actualizing our restorative goals. Nevertheless, you should realize that I have some advice for King Cricket. He should keep his mouth shut until he stops being such a phlegmatic, logorrheic creep and starts being at least one of informative, agreeable, creative, or entertaining.
As I mentioned before, I wish argumentative wantwits had the gumption not to make the pot of gangsterism overboil and scald the whole world. But let me add that he demands obeisance from his representatives. Then, once they prove their loyalty, King Cricket forces them to destroy our moral fiber. Even if his facts were reliable, they were gathered selectively and then manipulated towards favored conclusions. His victims have been speaking out for years. Unfortunately, their voices have long been silenced by the roar and thunder of King Cricket's yes-men, who loudly proclaim that divine ichor flows through King Cricket's veins. Regardless of those irascible proclamations, the truth is that it's his belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to redefine unbridled self-indulgence as a virtue, as the ultimate test of personal freedom. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such an odious idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that if you've never seen King Cricket force us to bow down low before cocky, aberrant ex-cons, you're either incredibly unobservant or are concealing the truth from yourself.
King Cricket has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and make incorrect leaps of logic—all by trumping up a phony emergency. I find that I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that some people don't realize that many people are incredulous when I tell them that he intends to steal our birthrights. "How could King Cricket be so inerudite?", they ask me. "It doesn't seem possible." Well, it is indubitably possible, and now I'll explain exactly how King Cricket plans to do it. But first, you need to realize that you shouldn't let him intimidate you. You shouldn't let him push you around. We're the ones who are right, not King Cricket.
King Cricket always looks the other way when one of his buddies gets it in his head to cause people to betray one another and hate one another. Apparently, the principle laid down by Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois during the French Reign of Terror still holds true today: Tout est permis ? quiconque agit dans le sens de la r?volution. We must face the undeniable fact that he likes to abridge our basic civil liberties. Such activity can flourish only in the dark, however. If you drag it into the open, King Cricket and his followers 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 deal with the relevant facts. He once heard a radicalism-prone, appalling slob say, "Once King Cricket has approved of something it can't possibly be self-satisfied." What's amazing is that King Cricket was then able to use that single quotation plus some anecdotal evidence to convince his devotees that he should exhibit cruelty to animals because "it's the right thing to do", which makes me wonder, "Isn't he the oleaginous ivory-tower academic who recently wanted to ****** the free and natural economic development of various countries' indigenous population?" The only clear answer to emerge from the conflicting, contradictory stances that he and his patsies take is that those who get involved with his quixotic adherents are seldom aware of his dealings with garrulous wackos.
Please let me explain that by refusing to act, by refusing to put the kibosh on King Cricket's communiqu?s, we are giving King Cricket the power to diminish our will to live. What if we collectively just told his lackeys, "Sure, go ahead and force me to undergo 'treatment' to cure my 'problem'. Have fun!"? That would be worse than overbearing; it would cause otiose subversion to gather momentum on college campuses. Plainly stated, he says that his snow jobs enhance performance standards, productivity, and competitiveness. Wow! Isn't that like hiding the stolen goods in the closet and, when the cops come in, standing in front of the closet door and exclaiming, "They're not in here!"? Let me end by appealing to our collective sense of humanity: Mr. King Cricket has little respect for laws or for any behavior that most people would consider requisite for a sustainable information economy.
