["David Sinclair" <mal_occhio@hotmail.com>]

this is a letter that i think we should all start passing around as a new 
urban/internt legend. i would advise everybody to copy it into a new letter, 
sign it, and ask all of thier friends to do the same.

"joke em if they can't take a fuck!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a letter I have planned on writing for some time (for about 3 or 4 
years actually), a letter that I suspect is extremely important and one that 
emphatically must be heeded if we are to undo the damage caused by The 
National Endowments for the Arts. For most of the facts I'm about to 
present, I have provided documentation and urge you to confirm these facts 
for yourself if you're skeptical. Before explaining why homophobic perverts 
cause insurmountable trouble for us, I must first announce that we may need 
to picket, demonstrate, march, or strike to stop The National Endowments for 
the Arts before it can caricature and stereotype people from other cultures. 
If I have characterized The National Endowments for the Arts's cronies up to 
now as depraved and scary, it is only because immoralism is both a belief 
system and a material, institutional reality. Let me back up a little: 
Ethnocentrism is a growing threat to society and should be outlawed. There 
is another side to the issue.

The National Endowments for the Arts fits the stereotypical image of 
out-of-touch unruly mob bosses, to put it mildly. It saddens me that one can 
only speculate how much worse things would be if The National Endowments for 
the Arts were to reap a whirlwind of destroyed marriages, damaged children, 
and, quite possibly, a globe-wide expression of incurable 
sexually-transmitted diseases. We must not miss our chance to burn away 
social illness, exploitation, and human suffering. However true that is, The 
National Endowments for the Arts has figuratively enclosed itself in a 
secure elitist ghetto. Make no mistake about it, The National Endowments for 
the Arts is hampered by a load of contradictory and absurd assumptions of 
the school that it follows.

Cowardice, irresponsibility, and stoicism are inextricably wedded in The 
National Endowments for the Arts's conclusions. Whether or not you realize 
this, The National Endowments for the Arts always sounds like it's reading a 
prepared speech. I have always assumed that The National Endowments for the 
Arts has an almost mystical faith in militarism, but the fact of the matter 
is that The National Endowments for the Arts is trying to feature simplistic 
answers to complex problems just to prove it can. Blaming self-righteous 
irreligionism on mumpish neanderthals is one of The National Endowments for 
the Arts's favorite themes -- and The National Endowments for the Arts knows 
it.

The fact that The National Endowments for the Arts's credos are a veritable 
dictionary and synonymicon of narcissism is distressing, to say the least. 
It's my hunch that I am morally and ethically opposed to The National 
Endowments for the Arts's agendas. In case you hadn't noticed, the surest 
way for The National Endowments for the Arts's lackeys to succeed is for 
them to reduce human beings and many other living organisms to engineered 
products and mere cogs in the social machine. All in all, there is no 
compelling moral or economic reason why The National Endowments for the Arts 
should progressively narrow the sphere of human freedom. So don't tell me 
that The National Endowments for the Arts's uneducated sophistries are to 
politics what the blitzkrieg was to international diplomacy just because 
this should not and need not be the case.

We can't let The National Endowments for the Arts enrich itself at taxpayer 
expense. I like to think I'm a reasonable person, but you just can't reason 
with gutless kleptomaniacs. It's been tried. They don't understand, they 
can't understand, they don't want to understand, and they will die without 
understanding why all we want is for them not to support hostile governments 
known for human rights abuses, wrongful imprisonment, and slavery. We must 
face the undeniable fact that I cringe at the thought of how The National 
Endowments for the Arts might some day pit race against race, religion 
against religion, and country against country. The moral of the story: I'm 
decisively tired of the most blasphemous radicals I've ever seen.
