I am writing this letter because I take issue with some of Daysiartpainter's ideals. Although my approach may appear a bit pedantic, by setting some generative point of view against a structural-taxonomical point of view or vice versa, I intend to argue that Daysiartpainter's reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, she always begins an argument with her conclusion (e.g., that she is as innocent as a newborn lamb) and therefore—not surprisingly—she always arrives at that very conclusion. The law is not just a moral stance. It is the consensus of society on our minimum standards of behavior. I don't want to overstate this point, but some people have indicated that it is difficult for many people to accept that Daysiartpainter's hectoring assertions have been found incompatible with personal security and the rights of property. I can neither confirm nor deny that statement, but I can say that no one has a higher opinion of Daysiartpainter than I, and I think Daysiartpainter is a dour meathead.

Please don't misinterpret that last statement to mean that it's okay to make my stomach turn. That's not at all what it means. Rather, it means that I shall be blamed by ignorant persons when I say that Daysiartpainter's surrogates always detect profound wisdom in what is most incomprehensible to them personally. Cruel as that maxim may appear, her childish "Mine! Mine! Mine! Now! Now! Now!" attitude makes me think that maybe Daysiartpainter rather grandiloquently refers to me and everyone else she dislikes as an infantile, militant scapegrace. But there's the rub; when Daysiartpainter hears anyone say that she has lost all sense of compassion, understanding, and humanity, her answer is to incite young people to copulate early, often, and indiscriminately. That's similar to taking a few drunken swings at a beehive: it just makes me want even more to get us out of the hammerlock in which she is holding us.

On a more personal note, at no time in the past did stentorian tricksters shamble through the streets of cities, demanding rights they imagine some supernatural power has bestowed upon them. This makes Daysiartpainter's manuscripts seem pea-brained and even a bit destructive. The destruction of the Tower of Babel, be it a literal truth, an allegory, or a mere story based upon cultural archetypes, illustrates this truth plainly. I have this advice to offer: The world has changed, Daysiartpainter; get used to it. On a completely different tack, I once had a nightmare in which she was free to address what is, in the end, a nonexistent problem. When I awoke, I realized that this nightmare was frighteningly close to reality. For instance, it is the case both in my nightmare and in reality that the idea of basing our entire society on slimy teetotalism is so far from reality, it's laughable. Now that's a rather crude and simplistic statement, and in many cases it may not even be literally true. But there is a sense in which it is generally true, a sense in which it clearly expresses how ignorance is bliss. This may be why Daysiartpainter's flacks are generally all smiles. Finally, any one of the points I made in this letter could be turned into a complete research paper, but the conclusion of each would be the same: It can plausibly be surmised that Daysiartpainter should be locked up.
Bravo bravo maestro Also I will be using the quote That's similar to taking a few drunken swings at a beehive:
