OK ON TOPIC TIME!!!!!
My goal for this letter is to get people to sign a petition to limit 10 minutes in the city's ability to cause trouble. I shall do this in the only honest way that I can, which is by simply setting forth those principles that I personally believe in and that I personally observe and honor. I will start this discussion by arguing that a lecherous spirit is precisely the wrong spirit in which to ring the bells of truth. Then, I will present evidence that 10 minutes in the city's double standards are like an enormous unilateralism-spewing machine. We must begin dismantling that structure. We must put a monkey wrench in its gears. And we must investigate the development of revanchism as a concept, because to explain a few facets of this confusing world around us, we have to work diligently and effectively to admonish 10 minutes in the city not seven times, but seventy times seven. 10 minutes in the city may mean well but that's just one side of the coin. The other side is that once you understand its pranks, 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 10 minutes in the city dominate the whole earth and take possession of all its riches. 10 minutes in the city ducks the issue of propagandism by using words and phrases so vague and subject to interpretation that they have no true meaning at all. It is tempting to look for simple solutions to that problem, but there are no simple solutions. I would like to digress here.
10 minutes in the city is indeed up to something. I don't know exactly what, but its reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, it always begins an argument with its conclusion (e.g., that our unalienable rights are merely privileges that it can dole out or retract) and therefore -- not surprisingly -- it always arrives at that very conclusion. I wouldn't judge 10 minutes in the city's supporters too harshly. They're just cannon fodder for 10 minutes in the city's plot to violate the basic tenets of journalism and scholarship. I see how important 10 minutes in the city's parasitic perversions are to its foot soldiers and I laugh. I laugh because if it is going to talk about higher standards, then it needs to live by those higher standards. Once one begins thinking about free speech, about unregenerate tricksters who use ostracism and public opinion to prevent the airing of views contrary to their own impractical beliefs, one realizes that 10 minutes in the city can get away with lies (e.g., that its allegations epitomize wholesome family entertainment) 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 10 minutes in the city is lying. To parody the old song, "Fish gotta swim, 10 minutes in the city gotta create a new cottage industry around its catty form of elitism." Although I can no more change the past than see the future, it's safe to say that I must openly confess that 10 minutes in the city's inclinations are not so much a nationalist as a neo-imperialist attempt to disparage and ridicule our traditional heroes and role models. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further. Some day, I want to seek some structure in which the cacophony introduced by 10 minutes in the city's rantings might be systematized, reconciled, and made rational. But you don't have to wait for that. What you can do now is talk to everyone you know about the things I've told you in this letter. Use every medium available to you. Use the Internet. Use your telephone. Use radio and newspapers. And whatever you do, never be afraid to speak out against the evil that is 10 minutes in the city.
