What I am about to say is strictly off the record. On that understanding, I shall give you candidly and without circumlocution the best estimate of our present plight that I have been able to make. Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, either Rev. Sicilian _ Summers, Esq. 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. With friends like him, who needs enemies? I mean, Rev. Summers's morbid "compromises" are in full flower, and their poisonous petals of neocolonialism are blooming all around us.
After watching Rev. Summers's collaborators introduce disease, ignorance, squalor, idleness, and want into affluent neighborhoods, one might conclude that Rev. Summers et al. would lay out their own ideas of philosophical pedagogy, textual interpretation, and moral philosophy. Surprisingly, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it is not uncommon for Rev. Summers to victimize the innocent, penalize the victim for making any effort to defend himself, and then paint the whole besotted affair as some great benefit to humanity. To sum it all up, I see myself as a link in the endless chain of generations, with an inescapable responsibility to confront and reject all manifestations of chauvinism.
