I am not writing to agree or disagree with Mr. Richard D. James. What I have to say, however, regards Richard's decision to woo over temperamental Neanderthals by using tactics such as scapegoating, reductionist and simplistic solutions, demagoguery, and a conspiracy theory of history. Let us note first of all that if we let him funnel significant amounts of money to odious, ethically bankrupt finks, all we'll have to look forward to in the future is a public realm devoid of culture and a narrow and routinized professional life untouched by the highest creations of civilization. And if you think that a richly evocative description of a problem automatically implies the correct solution to that problem, then you aren't thinking very clearly.
You've never heard that his intention is to replace the search for truth with a situationist relativism based on useless jingoism? That's because his votaries have been staging a massive cover-up for quite some time now. But if you keep your eyes open, you'll notice that if he can't be reasoned out of his prejudices, he must be laughed out of them. If he can't be argued out of his selfishness, he must be shamed out of it.
I may be beating a dead horse here, but I do want to point out that I am really not up on the latest gossip. Still, I have heard people say that that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. While we may all pray for a perfect utopian world in which everyone is holding hands and singing "We Are the World" in perfect harmony, the reality is that Richard's plans for the future set the intellectual and moral stage for a new wave of whiney policies that seek to substitute breast-beating and schwarmerei for action and honest debate. Sad, but true. And it'll only get worse if Richard finds a way to gag free speech. Thus, in summing up, we can establish the following: 1) Mr. Richard D. James prizes wealth and celebrity over and above decent morals and sound judgment, and 2) th

and 2) things are apt to get worse before they get better.

Exactly what diabolical plans does RDJ have planned? You have posted no evidence, or better yet, a clear motive for your accusations.
Your argument is poorly constructed and quite frankly, anyone that takes it seriously is not what you yourself deemed "thinking" men or women.
As far as I am concerned it is all about the sound. I care nothing for RDJ's personal agenda, I dig his music and that is all that is important as far as I'm concerned.

I went a bit overboard on the "as far as I'm concerned's" in that last sentence unfortunately...
Why doesn't this MB have an edit post option? I despise making mistakes in my posts and it's just tearing me up inside that I can't fix them.

While you're probably sick of hearing about Mr. Richard D. James, it is crucial that you read this letter. So let's begin, quite properly, with a brief look at the historical development of the problem, of its attempted solutions, and of the eternal argument about it. It may sound strange to him when I say that one can predict on empirical grounds that sometime soon he will create an atmosphere of mistrust, in which speculations and rumors gain the appearance of viability and compete openly with more carefully considered theories, but someone once said to me, "We mustn't tolerate the likes of Richard D. James." This phrase struck me so forcefully that I have often used it since. Debate with him or a search for common ground is both a fruitless exercise and a suicidal strategy. Surprised? You shouldn't be, because he has spent untold hours trying to consign most of us to the role of his servants or slaves. During that time, did it ever once occur to him that what he insists are original prevarications are nothing more than warmed-over versions of neopaganism? It is only when one has answers to that question is it possible to make sense of his press releases, because we must fight the warped, distorted, misshapen, unwholesome monstrosity that his biases have become. As mentioned above, however, that is not enough. It is necessary to do more. It is necessary to shelter initially unpopular truths from suppression, enabling them to ultimately win out through competition in the marketplace of ideas.
Accompanying this recognition of the indeterminateness of verifiability with regard to an external, objective reality has been a crisis regarding our ability to know that Richard contends that things have never been better. Sounds rather brazen, doesn't it? Well, that's Richard for you. To oppose racism, we must oppose exclusionism. To oppose mercantalism, we must oppose careerism. And to oppose Richard, we must oppose snooty twits. He has stated that the kids on the playground are happy to surrender to the scho

....school bully. One clear inference from that statement -- an inference that is never really disavowed -- is that anyone who dares to develop an alternative community, a cohesive and comprehensive underground with a charter to reveal the nature and activity of his lackeys and expose their inner contexts as well as their ultimate final aims, can expect to suffer hair loss and tooth decay as a result. Now that's just incorrigible.
Again, in a recent essay, he stated that a book of his writings would be a good addition to the Bible. Since the arguments he made in the rest of his essay are based in part on that assumption, he should be aware that it just isn't true. Not only that, but his slogans are built on lies, and they depend on make-believe for their continuation. Believe it or not, Richard's eccentricity is surpassed only by his vanity. And his vanity is surpassed only by his empty theorizing. (Remember his theory that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them?) The end.
