Brothers, Sisters, and Others,
I speak to you (or rather write to you) tonight about the dangers of backsliding...For are there not those who go about quoting the Principia and St Wilson the Obscure; and do so having forgotten the message behind those glib words?
To be a discordian is far more than rote memorization of an author's words... It is, in essence, one of the few remaining ways in which a person might be free. To lapse into dogma and the random spouting of anothers word is to deny that freedom! Can I get an "Amen"?
In this new decade, our rights are stripped from us inch by inch, and day by day. We can now be detained (no more fun for YOU, Bubba...Ever) without counsel, our mail and our email can be read sans warrant, and even the so-called "opposition" has caved into this fascism, Eris damn their black souls. They would have ORDER. Law. Regulation. In short, they would have all that we disdain; truly, they would make the WORLD itself grey, had they the power (and they might yet). Will we stand idly by, while our mutant heritage is torn from us? Will we stand around mumbling catchetism from the "holy" books while they make normals of us all? Can I get a "hell no!"?
We MUST act, we MUST sieze our heritage while we still have the space in which to do so; when I was a child, this nation was far, far more free than it is now; most of you do not remember the years before Reagan, when a man might do as he please without fear of pissing in a bottle, when a woman might act as she please without the scorn of her peers...But those happy days are gone, and now we face the End of Fun. WE have the power to stop this, though it be a long fight. WE can put an end to the Grey Nation...But WE must act NOW.
We must throw sand in the gears of The Machine,Ñ¢, we must REFUSE to stand up and be counted...and this means more to most of you than it does I, oh great collection of draft-bait. We must do so in a way that attracts attention to our cause, without attracting attention to our SELVES (or it's no more fun, Bubba...see above). We must NOT trust the simpering fools in the "opposition" party, which opposes the current regime only in the fact that the "opposition" isn't getting paid...We must NOT trust to the clergy, or the media, or even the Saints of Eris themselves (with the possible exception of Saint LaRouche the Giddy). WE must do this, and Eris will not help us; for is this not a test of our skill as The World's Glitch?
Now some of you might say that the government itself is worthy of Eris, in that it itself is a study in chaos; to this I reply that it is a monumental work of art, but what benefit an artwork that falls upon you and crushes you flat?
Our forefathers fought for freedom; we...WE must fight for a few yuks. Only this, and nothing more.
Or kill me.
Talk about blast from the past. Last time I saw this was back in late 2004.
Old but good.

i especially like this bit.
i've got to ponder this a littlebit more. the second part stands to reason, where the first part provides a challenge.

Yeah, well, that was back before I got corrupted by
Black peoples.
Why'd he bother speaking to you?
I'm wondering why Cowass speaks to you.
I suppose you don't know so I should say:
Cowass, why would you talk to Roger?
We'll throw in:
WAYSA?
when cowass first joined (before you) him and roger had a little spat while roger was on vocation
since then its been kind of downhill

He's determined to score some kind of "point" on me, after humiliating himself a few months back, I suppose.

actually hunter I think you were around for that
about the same time as you joined
but this created the rift
then cowass said that stupid thing about black people
and never answered for it
roger went after him (like roger would) and well now we got what we got

Yeah, I mentioned that I was going to visit my inlaws in Mexico, and he wrote all kinds of shit through next thread I started, hollering about me "running away".
I knew that shit TI.
That's why I'm wondering why he bothers talking at all.
Does he think people forgot about his non-racism prejudice?

Dunno. Maybe. He leaves for a while, and then comes back, acting like nothing happened. This is his 2d or 3d return.

I never read this. It says something that it's still relevant today. Nothing I've ever written has ever been relevant 11 years later.

Well, then, in 3 years I'll have something to brag about. :lulz:
Interestingly enough, this was also my first rant against pinealism.
It's odd... I can read a few hints of your current style in this, but it's not the same at all. It reads like the work of a younger man, with all the mania of Doktor Howl and a complete lack of cantankerous Horrible Bastardry. I suppose this would have been well before you developed your current personal lexicon, too.
Still :mittens: orth mittens.

I still thought you could help people, back then.

Official Notice from the Department of Proper Thinking
To the Esteemed Good Reverend Roger,
We have been reviewing your file to attempt to rectify and achieve an optimal resolution to this apparent conflict of understanding. It seems that, much to our regret, our office neglected to properly notify you of some of the changes that went into effect shortly after the year 2001.
You see, in late 2002, it was decided that the General Public™ were no longer in need of "help" in the colloquial 20th-century sense. Best practices dictated that people would no longer need to be receptive to unsettling and potentially unproductive changes to their basic worldview and their approach to life.
In the interest of synergizing the General Public™, "help," in the broad sense, was redefined to mean a generalized, nonspecific affirmation of existing worldviews with an energetic tone applied for mass market appeal. Unfortunately, it seems that the notification of this change did not reach you in a timely fashion.
Eagerly awaiting your apology,
DoPT

Yeah. What year is it where you are Sig? :lulz:
Er... Right.
This is reassuring, though, since I'm becoming a math major. None of the serious math people I've met have even touched sums in years, and are useless at them. I'm well on my way to being great at math! :lulz:
